Guest Vetter Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I'm no expert but older thermostats opened around the 180 range. Newer cars run hotter for emission purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a bit high for this time of year but not a problem. Tells us what you read next July/August!What do you know about the radiator condition? Do you have A/C?
