I keep forgetting... I'll get the scangauge hooked up tomorrow if I can remember.
I have to disagree to an extent. Once an engine warms up beyond a closed loop status then it is good to go. The high temperature T-Stats help cars meet emission standards and is pretty much the reason why they are standard on all cars regardless of make and model. I prefer a colder thermostat which lowers under hood temperatures, allows for an increase timing, reduces fluid stress, and of course colder air.
