canadian L98's!

Hey guys...

Our gauges are different... may sound like a rather naive question, but, how is the temperature measured in our cars? it doesn't measure it in farenheit.... ? celcius?

My car usually sits just below the 1/2 line at normal operating temperature... in downtown traffic in the heat of summer it'll creep just over 1/2 mark... that sound normal?

I had a lower temp fan switch installed and have a new radiator. I am thinking of adding some Water Wetter since this car is driven for the best 6 months of the year, so it sees warmer temps. any ideas?

Something a bit off this topic but, I have a B&M Supercool trans. cooler getting installed... should I get a trans. temperature gauge? I don't drive the car incredibly hard, about once a month I will do a few autocross runs... anyone?

Garett

Around 90 degrees is good, 120 degrees is bad.
