As long as you're changing out the coolant(which requires removal of the thermostat to do correctly), you should replace the thermostat also.

Yes and don't get roped into going cheap with a Stant or Motorad , they don't open in the time frame parameters the ECM is looking for, also ensure to get the 180 degrees, yes open the box, people do make mistakes returning things!
Been there and had to drive back to the parts palace to get it straightened out, good thing we have 2 cars.

Here's the handy part number list

And a how to for the CAF

Conax, if the gap looks out of whack , return it to get another plug, the wick is fragile and can be damaged easily. I always open the box at the store and check them!

Touching the iridium whisker is a very touchy thing, they break if you look at them wrong. If the plug got dropped the whisker probably broke.
