    Just changed my coolant and noticed on the AP that it'll read from 195-209 at the highest and then dropping back down to 200-205. Do I have anything to worry about? Gauge seems to be at its usual spot. And yes I did burp it with the heat on until I couldn't fill anymore.

    what do you see cruising?

    also, sounds like stock t-stat. If so, 192-205 is pretty normal for stockish tune/stock-ish motor.
