Author	Topic:   How easy is it to change the thermostats...
njwhaler	posted 07-21-2009 03:10 PM ET (US)         on my 2002 Optimax? It looks like I need to do this. However, I do not want to get knee deep into a repair that would probably require a qualified professional to handle. My most recent experience in working on my motor was replaceing the on-board oil reservoir tank one month ago. What should I watch out for when performing this task? or, do you recommend that I just have the merc repair center do it for me?
