I did, and I’ll never do it again.
It ran at 160 all the time, and I had no heater in the winter and it never heated up enough to run efficiently, or burn off moisture from the oil. And under the most extreme conditions, it’s still ran up to 200°, which is not overheating in the first place. But was the same as when I ran a 180 stat.
So now I only use 195’ and I just make sure the cooling system is up to the task.
