I did not know that. my water gauge seldom goes above 195 at the most 200 then drops quickly to 195. the oil gauge in the cluster is frequently above 210. so when the track guys are at the third dot or slightly higher, does that mean it's still averaging both? |
Hard to say dude. I think it would be good to start a baseline.....change the fluid and start documenting some things.
1-outside temp average for the time of driving from your cluster.
2-cars temp reading at the time
3-type of driving and flow ranking.
*city, freeway,
*flow rate 1=gridlock 10=wide open
I see higher temps on LA freeways that are 1-3 traffic flow along with 93 or higher outside temp. The heat from ground, car exhaust in front of me going through engine fan and low RPM's moving oil slower through the motor are to blame. The water pump is electronic so it can change flow rate based off temps but low oil movement and no clean cool air flow just adds heat.
