Just have a good 10 mm 6 point socket. - Works just fine for my SL2 1998 Saturn. My car was running too cool. Getting this installed was not easy for me. You have to remove the radiator hose, which is a pain. I just bought a new one. The heater core hose also interferes with getting out one of the bolts. I couldn't disconnect that hose from the engine block so I disconnected if from the overflow tank and just bent it out of my way. I stripped both bolts. I went to a junk yard to practice, and stripped about 50% of the bolts I worked on for that thermostat. My underlying problem was a worn out 10 mm 12 point socket. Yes. My socket set was over 30 years old and the 10 mm socket was worn. Luckily, my neighbor is a professional and he pointed out the source of my problem, and a new 10 mm 6 point socket solved my problem. The O-ring seemed slightly too big, but my professional neighbor said that wouldn't be problem. He was right. Review: Fixed all my issue for my Saturn. Ordered a second to see if this will correct the identical issues on my second Saturn. - In my application the car was not running correctly. I went through everything before trying the obvious. The install of this went well into my 1997 Saturn, there was an issue the o-ring gasket was a little big but I put some dielectric grease on to hold it in place and once the cover was seated square I tightened down to the proper torque and no leaks. Now the engine warms up nicely and the temperature sensor is not fooled thinking the car is cold. I used to pull up to stop signs and it would idle very high during cold weather. Now it acts like it did in the summer. ## Features - Original equipment design. - Made of durable material for a long lasting life. - Stainless steel assembly engineered for a smooth performance. - Fit type: Vehicle Specific ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000C847HW | | Additional Features | Temperature Display | | Backlight | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,124,999 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #9,699 in Automotive Replacement Engine Thermostats | | Brand Name | MotoRad | | Color | Stainless Steel | | Connectivity Protocol | Wi-Fi | | Connectivity Technology | Wi-Fi | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Mechanical knob, Push Button | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (53) | | Display Type | analog | | Finish Types | Stainless Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00033342045361, 00033342045422 | | Included Components | CN, Thermostat | | Item Type Name | Engine Coolant Thermostat | | Item Weight | 0.15 Pounds | | Manufacturer | MotoRad | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Includes manufacturer provided warranty. | | Material Type | Stainless Steel, Copper | | Model Name | OE Type Thermostat | | Model Number | 14279 | | Power Source | Vehicle Powered | | Product Style | Classic | | Shape | Rectangular | | Specific Uses For Product | Vehicle Cooling System | | Temperature Control Type | Manual | | UPC | 033342045422 033342045361 | | Voltage | 24 Volts (AC) | ## Product Details - **Brand:** MotoRad - **Color:** Stainless Steel - **Controller Type:** Mechanical knob, Push Button - **Model Name:** OE Type Thermostat - **Special Feature:** Temperature Display ## Images ![Stant 14279 Thermostat - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71epNKkqE7L.jpg) ![Stant 14279 Thermostat - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AHT1o88pL.jpg) ![Stant 14279 Thermostat - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hNzarVfrL.jpg) ![Stant 14279 Thermostat - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71y2762hUZL.jpg) ![Stant 14279 Thermostat - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81u-A9H+VyL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Title says 195 yet the description says 188?** A: This is the T Stat you want for your Saturn S series.. Make sure it's the original factory t stat housing.. It starts to open at 188 and is at full open at 195.. It's a bit confusing.. I have used this t stat in about 5 Saturns.. **Q: So what temp is this 185/188/192/195 i need correct part for my 1998 saturn sl1 sohc auto to many conflicting answers ?** A: This thermostat starts to open at 188 degrees and is fully open at 195.. **Q: Does the housing come with thermostat** A: No the housing isn't included. Included is a cardboard tube that is the tool to replace the thermostat into the original OEM housing. Aftermarket housings may not work with this thermostat. The 195 degree thermostat is the correct one for a Saturn to be able to operate at the correct temp and for the heater to heat enough. **Q: Does this thermostat come with a cardboard tool to help install it in the thermostat housing?** A: NO, mine did not. No gasket, as pictured in the listing photo was included either. Notice that all of the previous answers to this question saying "yes" are from 5 years ago, and all approximately the same date. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works fine.

Ordered a second to see if this will correct the identical issues on my second Saturn. *by C***X on December 31, 2016* In my application the car was not running correctly. I went through everything before trying the obvious. The install of this went well into my 1997 Saturn, there was an issue the o-ring gasket was a little big but I put some dielectric grease on to hold it in place and once the cover was seated square I tightened down to the proper torque and no leaks. Now the engine warms up nicely and the temperature sensor is not fooled thinking the car is cold. I used to pull up to stop signs and it would idle very high during cold weather. Now it acts like it did in the summer. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is a 195F even though the box says 188F.. see below... *by B***A on June 22, 2014* It is confusing that the box that says it is an 188F. Of course i wanted the 195F so I almost returned it but then i did some research in discussion forums and one forum about saturn s cars says for the stant 1429 "The initial opening point is 188F and full flow is ~212F, the 195F is the pint where all water is first directed through the radiator and the bypass is closed off. That is the correct part." So this is the right part for saturns. I installed it and it works perfectly. Now my gauge is reading the perfect running temperature. So the story ends well but there were a few problems along the way. First it was very hard to install and i had to file down the metal "wing" things that hold it just a little bit on each wing side to get it to fit. I do not know if you will have the same problem as me, because perhaps it was because my thermostat cover was not the original. Before i realized that this car needed a 195F, i was a fool and first bought a new thermostat that came already in a case cover (the cover is what the thermostat sits in where the hose goes in), So before i got this 195 I threw away the previous case cover which might have been the original case cover. I realized i needed a 195F when i went to discussion forum because i found it strange that when i first changed thermostat with the Oreily's replacement, the car was still running cooler than it should. So this 195 was hard to fit in the case cover i had from the oreily's that was with there wrong temp 85 theromostats. So maybe that is why the 195 did not fit with out some slight mod. Also i was a bit concered because the design of the wings were a bit different, but not so much that it would not hold once i did file them to fit the proper width to twist into place. So you might run into the same problem as me, since i bought this car used i think it already had been replaced with the wrong thermostat. The auto parts stores have in their computer the wrong replacement part. So you might also have the wrong housing. Not only that the gasket that came with this stant was slightly too big, so i reused the one that came with the oreilly's housing. This again could be because of the same thing described above. I also used a bit of red silicone which makes it easier to hold the gasket in when installing into the car. If you have no experience, Changing the thermostat is not that hard. One other thing is to make sure you are using a good socket and ratchet. You do not want to strip the bolts that can be hard to remove on some cars. And if you have the same prob as i did, you can use a file. Since other people seem to not have these issues i think it was not stant's fault but the fault of these autopart store suppliers. I highly recommend these 195F and the price on amazon was fair. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/14504213-stant-14279-thermostat](https://www.desertcart.es/products/14504213-stant-14279-thermostat) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
