while stoped at mc donald auto service mi car coolant temp went to 223 and going up when i found that the car was more than the regular 184 took 1 minute to go to the 223 fans where on coolant level correct. but i notice that when going more than 60 miles temperature is lower than 174. my car is 2006 ss/sc 10.000 something miles no modification only kn filter, thanks in advance.

 

Thats fine, overheating is 240 and above

 

that's pretty normal... it will get pretty high sometimes when idling, or when in heavy trafrfic... once you start moving again, it should go down... nothing to worry about... mine sits right around 189-190 usually, but has gotten up to 220 in traffic...

 

Exactly. When you start moving and having air force through your radiator, it will be more effective at dropping the temperature.

 

thanks guys and thank god so i dont have to stay without the car until warranty fix it. i guess is cool.

 

No problem. Good luck with the car.

 

you're welcome. post up or pm if you have any other questions.

 

Thats good to know, but just seeing 220 makes me nervous.

 

i felt so upset when i got home. i ask my wife if she had done anything to my car, she said the car had worked perfectly. she told me dont jump the river without getting to it.
