Just to confirm, you said you put in a new 180 degree TStat. Both your
oil temp gauge and coolant temp gauge read the same at 70 degrees C. Is it possible you got a 160 TStat in a mislabeled box or just a bad new one. A 160degree F could produce a warmed up coolant temp of 158 degree F (70 C).
A 180F TStat should produce a 190F coolant temp on warm days like we have been having.
That makes more sense than anything as I would think it unusual to have both
oil and coolant gauges reading twenty degrees below 180 F
