Is this temp correct?

Hi guys,

I changed my oil to 5W-40 and noticed slightly higher temps when rpms are above 4k. Not sure what the dealer had previously but it was just on the 2nd solid line when over 4k rpm.

Wanted to see if this temp is still considered normal given the ambient temp and rev range I was in.

Thanks !

That's pretty much about where my car peaks and sits at when the engine's fully warmed up.

That's the normal setpoint for efficient mode.

That look like about 210 degrees, maybe a smidge more - right at operating temp!

Normal. I'm running 5W-40 as well.
