my car has a coolant leak at the thermostat flange. im gonna order a new flange, and just gonna replace the thermostat while im in there. so whats the difference between all these?

im just probly gonna order the Schwaben one they usually make some good stuff unless that 71C one is better to get, like i dont understand what the temperatures are for. they say lower than OEM but wouldnt you want a higher one so it can read a wider variety of temps? idk thats the way i see it

the temp means at what temp they open to let fluid through. Some people like to run the lower temp one so that it opens earlier and runs a bit cooler.
