[QUOTE="Earlybay1, post: 640298, member: 28615"] that was only to show that the purists have to change their choice of oil. Other causes of overheating and not from a device that is misleading (I would bet is is made somewhere that is renowned for poor quality in all its manufacturing base.) A slipping generator/alternator belt, poorly fitted tin ware including missing plug grommets will reduce air flow. Is the flap stat if fitted opening? A reconditioned engine I bought had the original tinwork fitted and I dug out half a bucket of grime from inside along with the fan. The fan was visibly filthy and caked. That is just incompetence or carelessness . So if you buy something that God knows how many people before you have messed about with do your own checks of everything. I suspect that add on device is U/S as it was stated increasing engine speed caused the light to go out so there is conflict there. 95C sounds ok so another conflict there. If the engine was really overheating you would definitely smell it too and it would be smoking hot! [/QUOTE]
