Car running too cool?
Car running too cool?
The temps usually range from 120-145 depending on driving conditions from what I seen in the few days since getting the car. The previous owner of the car rigged the fan to always stay on. I know you can certainly run too low a temperature, but is this acceptable for an L03?

i do know tha tif you run too cool that you would get carbon build up and not burn off all the residue left behind by oil and gas...same thing that happens using bad gas or jsut using the car for 3 mile trips..never letting it truly warm up...but other than that...i doubt your car is running too low unless youhave a noticeable performance problem or something
