Sun, 23 June 2002 12:19 ToyCam Steve wrote on Sun, 23 June 2002 8:15 PM I remember once reading in motor that thicker oils can retain heat better than thinner oils, because thinner oils radiate heat more quickly. As the oil is thinner i thought is could be that. I've got plenty of coolant so i guess the next check is the sensor. now how do i get to that..... But was the temperature retaining that great? The car should be trying to warm up the engine to operating temperature no matter what oil is in it, it should eventually go to it's normal operating range of approx 1/2 way. Check your themostat first. I have NFI what car or model of car you drive, so I can't give directions to where it would be for you. EDIT: Generally it should be in a housing that is on the return hose to the radiator from the engine. Another thing is the coolant temperature sending unit. And check your fuses as well.
