Yup, each specifically is good and weak at something. At the end of the day, go to somewhere you are comfortable

another question...

I notice that my temperature is a bit on the high side, i.e. slightly more than half. Is this normal? If not, what can be done?....Thanks…

If it is slightly more than half and does not go any higher, even during a hot day in a bad traffic jam, you should be ok. But if it gets to 3/4, better get it checked.

On mine, it is way too cool. While cruising, it is slightly above cold. On a hot day in a bad traffic jam, slightly below half. Guess I have to look at my viscous fan coupling next.

Flash, I think you should check your cooling system...fan, thermostat and etc. On M50 engines, the temperature is pretty consistent ie; slightly below the halfway mark irrespective of whether you are stuck in traffic or cruising on the highway early morning. On my M20, the temperature fluctuates as per what you have writte (similarly on the M40 as well). :yes:
