Fan Question
How many of you hear the fan running after you shut the car off? I have only ever heard mine kick on for a couple of seconds maybe twice since I had the car.

Seems like when the ambient temp is above 90*F and I have driven the car for a while with the temp at 9 o'clock the rear of the car gets pretty heat soaked. Then when I park in the garage, I notice the fan will cycle on and off for at least 15 minutes (with the garage door partially open to vent).
I think this duration is shorter when parked outside with any sort of breeze.
I daily drive mine so this is a regular cycle for 3 months out of the year. Even if this "cooling" operation is of limited effect, I'm still glad it's there. No RS tube for me!

It's a very infrequent event for me, even on a hot day with oil temps past 9 o'clock on the gauge. I know it's working since it will cycle on when I turn the key to the position just before cranking the engine.
