Just changed antifreeze my car used to hit 200-205ish. After the change I hit 246 degree coolant.pic only shows 241 but I was bouncing between 244 and 246. Is this normal?

Not normal. Has it done this every time you've driven it since the change? Is there enough coolant in there? Did you use the right kind? |

If that's the case, you need to burp the system. |

We'll I took it out last night drive about 4 miles city and 1 highway went to bed and woke up the coolant reservoir was empty. So I assume I broke the air bubble. I drove 8 miles today and max temp was 201. I think I got it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Keep an eye out for any spots on the ground, but it seems like you've got it figured out. |

I think it was a general reference, so others would know what info would be helpful to post. |

brdkey, you did fine with your post. It's just impossible to answer questions when some post with little to no information. I always make an effort when I have a problem to post everything, and include a picture when necessary. Some people make a post about a problem, and don't report back for weeks/months.
