idk if its normal but the needle is a lil bit above the half way mark on the dashboard and it warms up fast. I noticed the fan wasnt on when i opened the hood but it does turn on when I turn on the AC.

and what kind of coolant should I use? considering the whole dex-cool bad for us law suit thing

Go get it flushed somewhere or DIY it. Use the green stuff IMO. Dex-cool blows. If you have a stock temp T-Stat it might climb past the middle mark too since it is getting hotter outside. Go to a local auto parts store and get a 180* or 160* T-Stat if you are worried.

thanx i'll go do that

you cant use a colder thermostat effectively without changing your fan turn on points to be lower. i run a 180* thermostat all year long.
