This high temperature rating ensures that condensates boil out of the oil, leading to improved reliability and longer oil service life. The higher minimum temperature also ensures that heavy duty applications running high viscosity, high temperature engine oils don't suffer engine wear and horsepower losses in conditions where oil may be over-cooled, such as cold or rainy weather. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe device's unique patent-pending internal design - the result of over a year of research and development - ensures a low pressure drop by placing the bypass valve mechanism completely out of the primary oil flow. This arrangement also allows for a compact design. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe thermostat features female -10AN O-ring boss threads and is available with AN fittings in -06AN, -08AN, -10AN, or -12AN or 3\/8\" hose barb fittings.
