Put car in for oil change, now runs hotter
Fellas,
I haven't had a chance to get back to the shop but wondered if you guys had any idea how this could happen
Car went in for new oil (AMG certified, same that I had previously). Came out and now if I'm in slow moving/stop start traffic, the temps go through the roof (like, 107-114 deg C). If I actually get some speed up, temps start dropping again back down to my normal 100-102 deg C.
My first thought is maybe an oil cooler fan has been disconnected. Is this even possible??
Cheers,
Dan
