There is no need to use a thermostat with a different opening temp than stock. You should only but the right thermostat for the car, and only from Mazda.

If you knew anything about meters you would find that post very funny.

just thought I'd mention, I use RO water ONLY in my car. Tap water will mess you up real quick.

Be careful with RO (reverse osmosis) water too...
They tend to do really fucked up things due to the water being "too pure".

Distilled should be what you're looking for.
