Hello everyone. I just noticed for a couple of days now that coolant temperature gauge is fluctuating between 80c and around 82c. When driving for some time I can see the temperature reaching the 82 mark, but coming off the highway for example, the temperature drops to 80. Is that normal? I did not notice that while owning the car for 4 years now, only after oil change done last Friday. Appreciate your inputs. Thanks

Sounds normal. When the stat fails it will go wide open and the temp will not be able to climb to 80c. Keep an eye on it.
