So Sunday I was in the canyons, after some spirited driving and about a 6,000 ft climb I noticed my Oil/Coolant temps were both at about 240 ?f. So I pulled over, cranked the heat and let the car sit. What I want to know is was I right in doing that? Can I let both oil and coolant get hotter? Whats their normal operating temp, and what is the maximum I should allow?
The car never said it was overheating, I just normally don't see either temp rise above 220 ?f.
