Engine too hot, steak turned out medium-well instead of medium-rare, must return car

I think my engine temp calibration is off, I just burned my steak!!!

Taking car into dealership tomorrow for engine steak service, though I thought this wasn't needed until 15,000 miles.

Anybody else have this problem?

I've had no such problems, and i haven't really heard of anyone else having them either. But keep us updated.

I'm with Fung63 on this one.

If you're actually having a problem with your car state what the problem is. If someone else is having overheating problems and looking for answers, they are not going to perform a search for steak on the forums.

Are you talking about your oil temps? Water temps? Is there even a gauge for actual engine temp?

It's too hot? What are the numbers? Maybe take a picture of your gauge temp and post it.

My oil temp usually ranges in the 240-260 range if I don't have the car in D or 5th gear. If I leave it in D then it usually stays mid 220's or lower.
