Why do you want a low temp one, not even sure if they are available.

That's the one!

Do you have one to say if it stays cold in winter? Tried one out and tested it?

oil still sits over 90 so engine runs fine.

Yup had one, as you say oil temps fine bit MPG down because the cooling system stat open earlier

If your stat etc is all good the cooling system will work spot on, no need for a lower temp stat
