Does your engine temperature ever fluctuate slightly?

I'm assuming its the thermostat but i'm still running the hydraulic fan. I've only had my car for a few weeks now and the most i've driven it was for probably 30 mins, but it was about 50 degrees outside.

Mine never fluctuates no matter how hot or cold it gets.

The only time mime moves is when I go around a sharp curve or exit ramp. OLT says it does it all the time, its when you change out to brighter needles that you REALLY start noticing the movement. My gas gauge also does the same thing. They both move right back when I go straight again. Just my experience.

Almost all modern cars (last ~25 years) in the US have extreme damping on temp gauges, so all they really tell you is "cold" "normal" "hot".
