Yes you are correct, however if you have a 195 thermo and the car is overheating and chage that to a 180 thermo, it's still going to overheat. If your having overheat issues, a $12 thermo isn't going to fix the problem, unless it's sticking.
Just looked up the thermo, it seems the OE is 180* IDK if you want to go to a 160* which is the next one down
