I have a 95 S900 convertible that I need to replace the thermostat (similar problem to yours in that I get heat while driving city, but on the highways my engine temp drops). Does the brand of coolant really matter? I've heard that it can matter, but I wonder. If I buy decent coolant from the auto store (AutoZone or someplace similar) is that good enough? I would just hate to spend extra on coolant if there are no true benefits to it. What can I say, I'm somewhat frugal.
And thank you for the info in your post. That will help as well. I have not changed a thermostat since 1990 when I had my 1980 Chevy Malibu, so this refresher information is very helpful.
