Normal coolant tempreture

Post by bj42turbo »

Just fitted a decent temp guage to my toyota landcruiser and just wondering what the excepted "normal" temp would be.
Sitting just under 100km the temp sits on around 82, 110km it starts to creep up to 86, 120km sits on 90 and this I thought was warm enough. Also climbing long hills it starts to creep up too

really depends what thermostat is in it.
most open at either 82 or 88*C
If it doesn't go above 90, and you have the 88 in , be about right.
an 82 may be better for summer, but would make heater a little cold in winter

I'm no mechanic or expert, tho, just my opinion
