Thermostat Question
Does anyone know for sure whether the thermostat in my 07 Yaris will stick open or stick closed in the event that it fails?

It really can fail either way, but I think it would more likely stick closed.

If your car takes longer than usual to warm up in the winter.. it's likely sticking open.

stick open
In my past experience when folks mix the wrong coolant in the system it corrodes/rust the thermostat and it fails open, or actually there is gunk keeping it slightly open and makes the car's coolant system run colder than normal.
only use the coolant specified for your car and only mix distilled water to avoid problems. |
