I would suggest a failsafe thermostat from Motorad and an OEM Motorcraft seal.
yes the part was OEM from nissan
Thermostat is broken or someone changed non-original thermostat.
Those do not work.
Only working (which is also oem) spare part is Motorad Cold climate zone thermostat 5461-82K.
Other does not work. Tested 10+ thermostat on here skandinavia.
I’ve had so many replacements fail in all my Nissans over the years that I just get an oem one from a dealer. Never had an oem one shit out yet.
I remembered the old thermostat looking like it did, so I waited a few hours to let the engine cool down then swapped the new thermostat for the old one, turned the engine on and no overheating. I've been driving the car as it is for a while now without any problems other than I can't drive long-distance without it running too hot (ex. I drove 4 hours a couple times a year traveling for college, and in the summer the car sometimes would overheat by the time I got to my destination).
I noticed mine is a "motorad" and it's the cheapest shittiest one and it's been giving me problems.
I recently changed my thermostat due to my temp gauge occasionally dancing. The old thermostat appears to be bypassed as theres no actual thermostat in the housing. After putting on a new nissan one and oem gasket i bled the system with a overflow funnel for about 40 minutes until i stopped seeing bubble. Also using peak 50/50. Afterwards my overheating problem has gotten worse i overheat in about 10 minutes. I tried bleeding again and same results.
I had the same issues, less than 4 moths, this brand doesn't work.
I did notice before I recently got safety/emission test for plate renewal, i wanted to confirm the I/M readiness had ran, that at idle, the full trims were extremely rich. I'm leaning towards the lower tstat having something to do with that. I have a 195 motorad(blah) that i had just installed before the plenum work. ECT didn't break 178 degrees on a highway cruise at 95+ degrees. That seems to be right at the threshold for the current dtc.
I had issues with the MotoRad that every parts store in Canada seems to sell
