    So i just replaced my radiator. I bought this obd reader from Lazada. I am just curious since my coolant temperature is 96c-110c. Temp gauge never touches middle. It's slightly below the middle mark.

    Car: Sorento 2009 2.5 EX VGT

    Should I be worried? Coolant is 50/50 mix. I checked other vehicles they stay at 88c-92c.

    there could be several reasons.
    1. thermostat is not opening
    2. water pump is almost ready to go
    3. radiator fan is ready to go

    That range is on the high side. Generally ideal to be at sub-low 90s. Check the high & low speed fan functions aside from those mentioned by Stock E. Bleed coolant properly, too.

    OE thermostats are generally designed to open late for temperate regions to hasten engine & cabin heating on cold months. Cold starts & delayed heating are unhealthy for the engine. But...we're in the tropics w/ terrible traffic that cancel that concern. Having lower temp thermostats could help a bit in our conditions. Those units w/ resistor controlled multi-speed fans can also be tweaked to run on high all the time when the ECU calls for low. The engine, & the people inside the car will appreciate these tropic traffic cooling mods....just sharing some unsolicited proven unconventional cheats.What's your coolant temperature?
