has anyone else noted a large variance in oil pressure and coolant temp. (as reported by gauge readings) while in traffic?
I've noticed lately now that the daytime temps are much higher that while on the freeway engine coolant temp reads somewhere around 180 or so but in traffic it runs up above 220.
My oil pressure runs from mid-gauge or higher and drops to nearly nothing when at idle when the coolant temps are high.
Anyone else note this or am I in need of a service call?
