Is the normal operating temperature 100 degrees or less?
My car is the same but even in average not really hot weather in traffic/stop start driving temp always does go up to about 100 degrees, no more, but will sit at about 85 degrees normally. I don’t feel anything’s really amiss but as above did wonder if the thermostat was working fine.
What’s the normal operating temperature for a car?
If traffic is moving on the high way driving 60 to 70 the temperature goes from 80 to 100 degrees. Is between 80 & 100 degrees normal operating temperature during summer days or should I take it as a warning to get the car check out. I check the coolant and it is full – Maybe bad thermostat??????

What’s the normal operating temperature for a 2003 Mercedes?
My 2003 SL does the same thing, in traffic, gauge creeps up a but, then goes back down once i start moving again. I’ll assume normality and not worry! Just take note though, the best operating temperature is at the LOWER end of “80-100C is normal operating and is within MB spec”.
What’s the normal temperature of a Mercedes SL500?
Could any SL500 owners just chip in with a 2nd opinion on the normality of this. My car is the same but even in average not really hot weather in traffic/stop start driving temp always does go up to about 100 degrees, no more, but will sit at about 85 degrees normally.
What should the temperature be for an automatic transmission?
The ideal temperature for an automatic transmission is around 175 degrees. Cars do often have the coolant for the engine as a heat exchanger for the transmission fluid and therefore, they will often hold the same temperature if you are driving it normal. However, if your transmission is slipping a lot…
What happens when the transmission temperature reaches 290?
The fluid varnish starts destroying the internal components of the engine like the valves. By the time the temperatures reach 250 degrees, the rubber seals have started cracking and leaking pressure and liquid. At over 290 degrees, the transmission will often have stopped working due to damaged parts and seals.
When does the oil heat up to full operating temperature?
To burn off excess waste from the oil it must be brought up to full operating temperature. Your coolant heats up in as little as 5 minutes but oil takes much longer to get up to full operating temperature.
What’s the normal temperature for a BMW N52?
Normal. Modern BMWs run hot to reduce emissions and fuel consumption. For instance the N52 runs normally anywhere from 97-108°C. Thanks for the response. 108 C is 226 F so at 245, it “appears” that mine is running higher than that upper limit.
