Engine temp?
- Thread starter gungfudan
- Start date
generic for gas water cooled engines is 200-220deg F
oil weight is set for 212deg F, so a 10w-30 oil is 30 at 212deg F
best mileage is set for about 210deg F
Lower temp means less efficient for mileage and lubrication, higher temp can cause "pinging", pre-ignition
T-stat doesn't set your operating temp, but it does help engine get to the correct temp faster and maintain it better
