First and foremost this is an Aluminum engine, and it needs to be up to operating temps in order for all the clearances to be correct.
It also dramatically affect Fuel economy and driveability, this is still a daily driver.
I have never seen any gains from running the engine colder than 195, in fact just the opposite.
Everyone is under the impression that a Thermostat is responsible for cooling the engine, this is False.
The Thermostat is there to Warm the engine up Quickly, the Fan and Radiator are there to cool the engine, You can only cool the engine down to the fan settings which is limited to 190.
