    Suddenly noticed today that my ScanGuage said the engine temp was 207. That seems a little high ! Kept my eye on it and after a couple minutes it went down around 196. All this without any drastic change in terrain or throttle pressure.

    Kept watching it and it did it a couple more times on my trip to the store and back.

    I would much prefer to see 188 for engine temp and consistent unless I'm going up or down hill.

    The fluid is at a good level in the visible tank.

    What do you think ?

    Check the level in the radiator itself with the engine cold.
