Set Contains: ~Thermostat^O-Ring~ Review: Thermostat for Ford Aerostar - Good quality product. You may have to refuse your old rubber gasket or modify the new one to fit, depending on your model vehicle, new has a nub on outer edge Review: Works great, zero issues and significant improvement in my 2009 RX-8 R3 - Works great in my 2009 RX-8 R3. My mishimoto thermostat failed stuck closed after 70,000 miles of use and caused severe overheating issues. I chose not to buy another as it’s become very apparent that all mishimoto products are of very low quality and essentially nothing more than cheap eBay products with their logo painted or etched onto it with a much higher price tag. Of course I don’t have 70,000 miles of use with this one, however, right out of the box I put it in boiling water to test functionality and it opened and closed as it should without issue. Installation was easy as usual. My engine now runs significantly cooler whereas I was running between 220°-225° on average in 90°-100°+ weather and as high as 230°-237° on the highway in 6th gear between 70-78mph. Now I’m staying between 180°-195° under all driving conditions with this thermostat. ## Features - AISIN OE matched engine coolant thermostats are designed for efficient, consistent performance - With superior OE technology and know-how, AISIN ensures that every thermostat provides perfect OE form, fit, and function - Manufactured using only the highest quality materials for long life and dependable cooling system performance - All AISIN thermostats feature the correct OE specified operating temperature - Gasket included - Compatible with select vehicles (engine may affect fitment - verify specific fitment details with fit checker above): MAZDA: 2011-14 2, 1993-02 626, 2019 CX-5, 1995-02 Millenia, 1996-98 MPV, 1992-94 MX-3, 1993-97 MX-6, 1999-03 Protégé - Compatible with (continued): MAZDA: 2002-03 Protégé5, 2004-11 RX-8; SCION: 2016 iA; SUZUKI: 1999-08 Grand Vitara, 2004 Vitara, 2002-06 XL-7, 2020 Yaris, 2017-18 Yaris iA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01LWMM7AK | | Best Sellers Rank | #598,846 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #1,109 in Automotive Replacement Engine Thermostats | | Brand | AISIN | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (76) | | Date First Available | September 22, 2016 | | Exterior | Machined | | Item Weight | 4.1 ounces | | Item model number | THZ-002 | | Manufacturer | AISIN | | Manufacturer Part Number | THZ-002 | | Model | AISIN | | OEM Part Number | KL01-15-171A | | Position | Center | | Product Dimensions | 2.95 x 2.95 x 2.76 inches | ## Images ![AISIN THZ-002 Engine Coolant Thermostat with Gasket - Compatible with Select Mazda 2, 626, CX-5, Millenia, MPV, MX-3, MX-6, Protégé, Protégé5, RX-8 Scion iA Suzuki Grand Vitara, Vitara, XL-7, Yaris - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71X8DWSLgqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thermostat for Ford Aerostar *by J***L on March 19, 2026* Good quality product.
