No, get a regular thermostat for whatever a 2.2 operating temperature is. Unless you have performance upgrades that require it, you may well damage your motor if don't use parts that meet specs.

195 degree is the right thermostat.
And What's wrong with autozone?

Autozone told me my overhear valve engine was a fluke because I showed them the PCV breather filter would NOT leak oil all over. I told him I don't have the OHC engine and he should consider suicide, or at least not tell me my motor is a fluke.

In a 2.2 auto... it's a 180 degree. You likely have an identical car as mine.... read about what problem I've had with my AutoZone thermostat.

I have a 180... but I think it's actually supposed to be a 195, which was too hot for my car. Make sure you get a Stant, and not some cheap crap from AutoZone.
