[QUOTE=RandallNeighbour]Here's a non-technical answer since Jim did an excellent job of that...

Hey Randall, I like you drive a '97 2.5. I am curious as to what temp you read when the car is warm? I tend to shift at very similar tach points as you. Since the car has such low miles I'm almost following the break-in recommendations. Just curious abut what your temp guage says. Mine seems to settle a bit above the 180 line. BTW just touched 13,000 miles and so far all is well. I've put about 3500 on it since purchase.
