I'm keeping your two cents too  . |
The problem I see here is you driving in sub freezing weather. someone needs to call Z protective services on you for treating your baby that way. But really I have never seen a problem with the plate. The temps stay at 180 during normal driving but if I begin to get on it I will see a rise to maybe 200 before the Oil cooler starts to kick in and brings the temps back down. (I have the big 34 row mama jama and run only royal purple) but I have never seen the temps drop below 180 once the car is at operating temp. I know you can get the plates that only open up at 200 as well if you want a higher operating temp. Now I am going to take my 2 cents back to make that phone call to Z protective services, you said you name was??????
