Best Answer

First of all, the temperature gauges are usually way out of calibration because automobile gauges are made so cheap. You're looking for the trend of what the gauge indicates, rather than believing the indicated temperature displayed is correct. The normal operating temperature is 195 degrees F. On the gauge, you will initially see the temperature raise above normal, followed by a drop in temperature as the thermostat opens. It would be a good idea to place a drop of touch up paint or stick-on dot at the usual indicated temperature to have as a base line indication.
