Used this on a 2006 highlander 3. With my 2003 toyota camry v6 3. Fits 1999 camry le with 3.
Great thermostat. No leaks yet. Problem fixed immediately. Impressed with the international delivery service. Thank you for this awesome product.

Original part lasted 15years and not an easy one to change on a toyota 1mz-fe engine.

Unfortunately and frankly inexcusably the thermostat gasket is not included simply a consumer ripoff by toyota

On this engine be sure to orient the jiggle valve at the 12 oclock position

I have no clue what these engineers were thinking when they designed this engine

No not on top easily accessible but under the converter and after tackling taking this out it is still not an easy location where the thermostat is mounted
