The Mazda Miata Thermostat is an extremely important device that helps to maintain the engine temperature at the optimal level to ensure that power is not wasted and that the parts do not wear out so quickly. Relied upon by Mazda drivers of NA, NB, NC and ND generations, this small but accurate valve measures coolant warmth and then closes smoothly around 180 degrees Fahrenheit to deliver an adequate flow of coolant to the radiator, ensuring a warm-up on chilly mornings and eliminating heat soak on canyon runs. The unit allows fuel economy, consistent oil viscosity and consistent cabin heat thanks to keeping the engine in the sweet spot, which contributes to efficiency and safety to each trip. Refined through years of tighter spring calibration, the core of the wax pellet still provides a reliable mechanical action which requires no software or battery, a design decision that has earned a reputation for near-exceptionally durable reliability. Since the opening temperature was set at the factory to match any compression ratio, a correct Thermostat guarantees smooth compatibility with all stock powertrains, either the classic 1.6 litre or the powerful 2.0 litre Mazda Miata. Proprietors love the fact that the part prevents power-robbing overcooling on the highway and provides protection against damaging hot spots in summer traffic, retaining the responsive throttle body that is so characteristic of the Miata experience. The special features are corrosion-resistant housings and gaskets that close even after thousands of cycles of heat, and a small profile, which can fit in the narrow engine bay without the need for additional modification. Combined with a fresh supply of coolant and a conditioned water pump, the Mazda cooling system is primed to see motorists through track days and daily commutes, thus explaining why Mazda motorists consider this humble Thermostat to have been an unsung hero of performance motoring.
