What is normal coolant temperature for my car?
The normal coolant temperature for most cars is between 195 and 220 degrees Fahrenheit. However, it is important to check your car's specific owner's manual to be sure. Overheating can occur when the coolant temperature gets too high, so it is important to keep an eye on the gauge and to pull over and turn off the engine if it begins to climb too high. If your car does overheat, do not open the radiator cap until the engine has cooled completely to avoid being burned by the hot coolant. Once the engine is cool, check the level of coolant and add more if it is low. If the car continues to overheat, have it towed to a mechanic to have it checked out.
