What's your Mileage?? 997.1 & 997.2
#331
Bought my 2011 C2S just about 2 years ago with just under 16,000 miles on it -- about 17,500 by the time I got it home. It's got just under 36,000 miles now. I feel a little bad about turning it from low miles to medium miles but forget about it every time I climb into the cockpit. ;-)

I'm at just over 128.1k today and looks like I'm due for a new thermostat. (Photo attached)
Getting the LN Engineering low temp one this time. I put an OEM one in last summer when I replaced the AOS & Water pump - but apparently it's failed.
Also had to replace my expansion tank (2nd one in 4 years) - this one split in an unusual spot on the side of the tank. The first one split in "the normal" spot about 74,000 miles ago.
Party on.

do you know what your oil temp was at the time of this readout?

You know how it is. You know the car, so when any little thing is off, it gets under your skin. With the oil temps I ran the gammut trying different oils. Finally I landed on LiquiMoly GT1 10/60 and it's been great for how I drive.
But - putting that LN Engineering low temp thermostat in really did the trick. My oil temps now sound like EVERYONE ELSE on this forum and that's literally a first for me. Water temp is right back to 175° and planted - just like it's always been - so I'm back to happy. As for the increased warm up times I've heard of with this thermostat, I can't really say, as it was 100° outside when I picked it up today, and they had been instructed to make the headers glow-before telling me it's all better.
I didn't want another "You should be all set!" and then I get all the way back up the mountain to my house and we're at 250 on both guages again!
I feel like I've got my life back. The anxiety I have when something is wrong with Froggy, however small is, like how I feel when the dog is limping or sick. It bums me out!

Ha! Went out for a victory lap once it cooled down tonight (mid 60's) and picked up a nice bolt in the middle of my rear left! Haha guess I have to buy one more set of the Pilot Super Sports because my fronts still have too much life in em to switch to the new MPS4's... God bless ol' Froggy.
