Can I trust my coolant temperature?
Of course, it starts out too low to measure and gradually warms up as the car runs. Tops out at 194 degrees Fahrenheit and stays there. Middle of winter? 194. Middle of summer? 194. Idling? 194. Pulling a long, steep hill? 194.
Seems too good to be true. Oil temp fluctuates after warm up though...
There was a thread that discussed this a little bit ago. I think it was called oil temperature or something. I guess the coolant temperature is just set to max out at a certain temp on the gauge even if the physical temp goes above that temp (up to a certain threshold obviously).
