Temperatures, Pressures, etc.
Just took my new 2007 AO Coupe for my first ride and I have a few questions. First, this car rides and handles as smoothly as my Infiniti M45. I have been considering selling my M45 since I'm retired, single and really don't need two cars. I wonder if someone would give me the approximate values for the following when the car is up to temperature:
Coolant Temp.:
Oil Temp.:
Trans. Fluid Temp.:
Battery Voltage:
Oil Press.:
I also noticed when I pulled the in the garage & closed the door, it had a slight warm oil odor. My oil temp. was 203 and my coolant temp. was 198. My little trip (mileage is now 20 miles) was on I69 and I ran around 60 but once it crept up to 70. I could not be more pleased with this car.

strange odor
My car had all sorts of strange odors when new. Now at about 1700 miles they are mostly gone. The interior smell was what really bothered me. New leather is nice, but mine was overpowering. What really smells is the first time you slip the clutch a bit too much on a steep incline in traffic. By the way, great color choice.
