Towards the end of the summer, and now when I run the engine once a month, my water temp doesn't stay on 180 degrees when cruising at 55 or when I warm up the engine. It stays close to 160 or even lower and when I warm up only hits maybe 140 to 160 during idle. Could this merely be a bad 180 stat stuck open or a symptom another problem? This was happening before the temps got below freezing, I last ran the engine in late November.
