If the rest of your cooling system is in good working order and you are not running wild compression, ignition retard, or very lean mixtures a 195 should be fine. Most new vehicles only come with 195 thermostats and will not run well if they have a different thermostat in them. I run a 195 all year round with no problem and it can very hot (100 degrees) here in the summer. A 180 will work fine for carburated vehicles but a 160 can actually cause your engine to run too cool.
