Why in the world would you want to change it to such a low temp? You do realize that these engines' ECUs are designed for and looking for temps within the range they're set up for from the factory, right? This isn't the old days with carbs and distributors and poor heaters & radiators which could benefit from changing the thermostat....

It's one of those carry-overs from the old days some people can't seem to let go of.
And even back in the old days, I never saw any real benefit from going to a colder thermostat.
