Operating temps
I own a 2009 C6, standard model, auto trans. Bought new 6/11/09. It has 20,330 miles on it. I'm curious as to what the "normal" operating temps for the engine oil, coolant and trans fluid are. On a recent ride in 80 degree weather, the temps were 216, 210 and 198 respectively per the read outs on dash. Is this satisfactory? Thanks for your help. John F., Albany, NY
