well its about six thousand degrees here in guam every day of the year, even when its raining..... its just six thousand degrees and everythings wet. whenever normal commuting at the islands lame 35mph limit "or in my case 60 because i speed NORMAL" the car runs at about 210 to 220, or at least thats what the temp guage on the dash says. i thought it was established that the car goes into retard mode at 220? so why is it good to keep it in the 180-210 range? i dont understand the logic of keeping it so close to the red zone so to speak. wouldnt it depend on what type/viscosity oil your running? theres MASSIVE differences in W values, and in synthetics when even the slighest differences in temp are considered. Is my car running hot? i mean, normal city driving it sits at 210-215, cruising with no gas i can get it to lower, but against a headwind it will hover at 220 and stay there to keep a consistent speed over time.
