Pros

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.

Replaced coolant with toyota pink. Just need to apply soapy water to inlet pipe oring upon installation. Came with a new gasket.

Looks sturdy and appears to be a genuine toyota part. Heavy duty design will outlast a regular thermostat. Great oem product and price.



Cons

Buy a seal, i used a fel-pro instead of oem.


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

    Hoses belt and coolant were changed out at the same time first time for this vehicle

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

    The old thermostat did show signs of rust and age

    So im happy it was changed out

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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
