Is it overheating? Otherwise I use a product called Hyper Lube racing formula. It goes into the overflow and will reduce cooling temps drastically. My car use to run at 220 (operating Temp) Once I dumped that in the car wont go above 190, even while driving hard.

No,it is not overheating and everything seems fine but I just would like to see the temp go down a little.My temp goes to 109* Celcius and then drops.But that also meens that my oil and transmission oil in slow traffic reads like 110* Celcius.So by getting the coolant temp down this will maybe affect the engine and transmission oil as well to go down.
Just a thought....

So what is that in *F ?
I'm too lazy to look up the conversion....
Follow AU N EGL's advice and look for junk in front of the radiator. I found a plastic bag covering 1/3 of my radiator.
You can reprogram the fans to come on at a lower temperature.
You can also buy an aftermarket radiator that has more cooling capacity.

If it only gets hot in traffic, then you need to reprogram your fans to come on sooner. Mine used to get up to 225 or so sitting at idle or in traffic when stock. Now after reprogramming, it never gets over 208 even when it is 118 here in Arizona in the shade.
