Car Thermostats are key devices in systems that produce heat. As in the case of modern engines, they are used in regulating engine temperature by maintaining a constant degree or varying it over a specific range. They are also used in other systems that produce heat, including industrial furnaces. This article will do a comprehensive study of the features of the Stant 45359 SuperStat Thermostat based on our knowledge and experience and the experience of other users of the best aftermarket thermostats. In the review, there will be an analysis of the features of the product and discussions on its pros and cons in details, as well as whether or not the pros outweigh the cons and if the product is worth its price.

General Information
The Stant SuperStat Thermostat is a very efficient car thermostat that out-performs the Original Equipment thermostat. Unlike the other thermostats that constantly need to open and close in order to achieve the proper operation temperature and flood the engine with coolant, the Stant SuperStat has a different mode of operation. It is designed to have a patented V-notch, a non-linear design that works effectively to reduce cycling by precisely metering the amount of coolant needed. The V-notch design provides a small initial flow. As the engine heats up, these V-notches gradually open wider and releases the right amount of coolant needed into the system until the desired engine temperature is reached. This unique thermostat has so many benefits, including proper engine temperature control. This results in efficient engine operation, prolonged engine life, reduced oil consumption, improved fuel economy, and improved emissions.
The Stant SuperStat Thermostat has a high flow venture that is used for maximum cooling capacity during a high-temperature high load operation. It makes use of a patented Weir Valve, for precision flow metering during cold weather, light load operation, and to ensure that the temperature is stable under all conditions. The power element of the SuperStat is comparable to those used in the heavy-duty trucking industry. With its actuator piston that is 25% larger than a standard thermostat and 55% larger than competitive products, it has great advantages for the buyer. Buying this product affords the user this heavy piston duty that delivers one and a half times as much power as competitive stats for enhanced durability and longer life. The flange on the SuperStat Thermostat is 33% thicker than other standard products and 43% thicker than competitor’s thermostats for added strength and longer life. The operating spring is 50% stronger than standard thermostats. This unique feature helps return the Stant SuperStat 45359 to the closed position and prevents cold running even when the operating conditions are unfavorable.
Conclusion
The Stant SuperStat Thermostat is a definite recommendation for buyers who are looking for a cost-effective thermostat. It is efficient, durable, and long-lasting.
