I've done some reading on the forums, and most recommend only genuine thermostats due to poor history with aftermarket thermostats at Autozone, etc. However, I stumbled upon this and wondering if anyone has any experience with this company/part. Currently, onlinemazdaparts.com has the genuine part at $44.95 plus 7.50 shipping. Total: $52.45. So you'd save $20 with the Stant thermostat. Worth it?
