Is it necessary to drop the engine in order to replace this thermostat? My car is running a bit too warm as well. It was reaching around 250 degrees maximum (a little above that when I was chasing my son in his '12 Mustang GT up a mountain pass at 90-110 mph).
I've started with the oil cooler, making sure it was clean, replacing the seal and installing a 200 degree fan thermostat. It's running 15-20 degrees cooler when driven easy and the max temp has dropped by around 10 degrees. Tomorrow I'll put in a new plunger/regulator in the external thermostat to see if that helps.
