I second that, the stock thermostat is the best, accept no cheezy substitutions. BTW, if you're going to install it yourself, make sure that small circle thing points straight up

Hey bro what you can do is when you go to Mazda request a hot enviroment Thermo, and that way your
engine will stay a lot cooler...

Are you sure they didn't say thermoswitch or thermosensor? People use those to turn the cooling fans on sooner.
