Engine temperature?
#16
Scangauge. That lower temp is when the needle first touches the center. The water then seems to fluctuate as the thermostat opens/closes around 185F. The oil goes on up to at least 190F while still in the middle. I assume that is pan temp.---If not I'd be concerned the oil temp was too low as well.

yeah you're right about that..I wish my mine runs cooler too like yours LOL
my cars temp during summer and winter is the same always both stay on middle.

That would not make sense in my personal opinion.
If the thermostat remained open all the time, there would not be enough time for the coolant to cool down in the radiator. Hence, I would assume engine would run even hotter, especially in traffic.
I am almost certain our engines run richer Air/Fuel ratios.
My 2009 GS460 on the dyno showed A/F ratios of 10:1 consistently and power output was rated at 322hp compared to US model which were rated at 342hp.
Just my 0.02
