What’s the normal coolant temp for a 2012 Corvette?
When cruising at a steady rate my 2012 runs 217-223F, always has. Floor the gas or max out the load on a hill and the temperature drops to 190-210F range. Click to expand… That’s what mine used to do. Now my normal cruising temp is 190 to 200 degrees. Here’s my theory and thoughts.
What should the temperature of an engine cooling fan be?
Engine cooling fans may engage at one speed or multiple speeds and may kick on anywhere between 180 and 220 degrees.
What should the temp of the coolant be?
The thermostat OPENS at 195F degrees; but, the temperature continues to rise to the normal operating temperature. The temperature of the coolant can rise above 212F degrees because coolant is pressurized (NOT because the water is mixed with antifreeze). Boil-over won’t occur until about 265F degrees, because of the pressurization (15 or 16 psi).

How can I lower the coolant temperature in my engine?
There are drastic measures you can take to lower your coolant temperature like replacing your thermostat your radiator. Thermostats are designed to open at different temperatures so a thermostat that allows coolant to flow to the radiator at a lower temperature can help keep your engine running cooler.
Engine cooling fans may engage at one speed or multiple speeds and may kick on anywhere between 180 and 220 degrees.
