today was the first day that it was about 70F that i drove my car.
i was on the GSP, and i was running about 85degC coolant and about 90degC oil.
however once i got off the highway, my coolant was up in the low 90's, although my oil stayed the same.
it's about 85F here today.
what's safe operating temp for the RB20 engine?
both oil and coolant.

Thank
Kevin A

Sounds normal.

If you want flush the coolant and switch to a try synthetic oil like Mobil 1 0W-40.
