Using this ISR Performance thermostat is straightforward. Just replace your existing thermostat with it following the standard replacement process. As it's designed for off-road use only, don't use it on public highways. In California, it's only for racing vehicles not for highway use. For maintenance, regularly check the coolant level and its condition. If the coolant is dirty or low, replace or top it up as needed. This will help the thermostat work effectively and keep your engine running cool.
