Stock thermostat temperature rating

I purchased replacement thermostat from autozone rated at 180F, my other choices were 170F or 195F.

helms says stock will open at ~170 and fully open at ~194,

so is factory thermostat rated 194F or 170F?

i would think 195 since that's when it fully opens, but u can call up a honda dealership and ask the parts department.
