Temp on dashboard - 200F ALWAYS

[RyanGphoto]

I don't think this is an issue, but once I drive the car for more than 15 minutes my temperature (I believe the oil temp on the dashboard) shows 200F constantly.. It doesn't go lower or higher than that, just pegged there..

Anything to worry about? When should I start to worry if at all?

Thanks

Not an issue at all. Very normal and shows a good working cooling system. Mine might move around between 196 and 200 with no AC on, but if I'm running AC it settles into a very consistent temp even when driving hard.

That should be the target in track/sport modes I think.

Yep.. I am never NOT in Sport mode after I start the car.. I feel like touring is so quiet and tame!

Same here. Used touring for the first time the other day in very cold and wet conditions on the way to the dealer to switch to all season tires. Right back to sport now.

Personally, I think this is a software bug or sensor issue. It is not statistically possible for it NEVER to hit 201 degrees. In the summer, mine was usually pegged at 200 but even if the system went into overdrive, it would at least crest over once in a while. I also don't think it is an issue, just glad they all work the same.

what they said, and it's engine coolant temp, not oil.

I live in FL so the summer was super hot... Still not over 200.
