M272 V6 M273 V8 Thermostat Replacement Procedures - On Demand Video

Store > Engine Products
The thermostat is slightly different, but the procedures apply to all V6 and V8 title designation engines from 2006 to 2013

In this 10-minute instructional video, Kent will show you the location of the thermostat on both engines, explain why they should be replaced every 40,000 to 50,000 miles, and wrap up with installation tips that should help you do it yourself. Note: The drive belt must be removed, so this would be a great time to replace worn accessory parts or even the belt itself. 272273

Failure is more common and happens more often with these thermostats due to the internal temperature probe that goes down through the center of the housing. It is much better to replace this as a preventative measure to prevent engine overheating.

Yes, that is correct. These are the same parts on all 272 V6 and 273 V8 from 2006 to 2013. That is a few million cars that are now all aging, and many have not had these parts replaced. I am not sure why many shops do not even recommend this service before something fails!
