Meh. I've driven for 30 minute sessions in 100 degree heat here in Texas in my 08 X MR.

No overheating. Coolant, transmission, nothing.

Bone stock, though. Maybe that makes a difference.

Have you logged the Engine Cooling Temperature? The OEM dash didnt show what I am calling overheat. It kepts at the middle all the time.

That is a good point. No, I haven't done any kind of logging. I'm just using the dash readout.

I have just ordered this Low Temp Oil Cooler Thermostat (75C):

Do you think this would help?

I have also this lower temp thermostat (63C instead of 82C):

http://jnztuning.net/shop/catalog/pr...oducts_id=1420

I know it wont make peak temps lower, but I hope it makes getting to peak temps longer.

Will I need to tune the car after installing any of these thermostats?

Thank you,
Best regards,
