fastbird232 Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 On a 70-75 degree day, it runs just under 210 at cruising speed and just over 210 at idle. I noticed that my bro's '01 SE (3100) cruises just above the lowest temp on the gauge (the numbers slip my mind). Should I change my coolant or what?

WhiteOut Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Mines more like 190-195 when moving. Probably more like 210-215 if sitting still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Mine is always one or two bars bellow that 210 degree marke. so what, 180? if i'm sitting in traffic it will run up to the 210 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoroCorona Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Mine ran at about 200 at higway speeds and would get to nearly 230 in traffic. However, It was in the summer when it did that. 100+ degree days dont make these engines very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
