    I wouldn't worry seeing the temp briefly at 220 or so. I've seen them around 225*, before cooling down.

    Based on my OBD fusion it's between 185 and 190
    It's kinda weird cuz when i use my thermometer gun the engine temperature is always lower than whet the OBD is showing.
    Last Saturday, its was 39°F outside but the temperature showed 187°F
    When I check the temperature, with my digital thermometer gun, the oil pan was at 165°F, and on the side of the engine where we put the oil filter it was 169°F.

    It definitely not accurate
