So I park the car and let it idle so it can warm up more while I wait for my girl to come out
But then I notice the Guage gets lower ( first line after the c) instead of warmer
Is this normal?
As soon as my gf came out, I went to drive the car and let it warm up to normal temperature.
Now I'm inside the car and the reading stays at normal.
And now going lower
Thanks guys

Totally normal. Mine does the same thing, particularly when it's below freezing outside. The reason is because the engine really isn't at normal operating temp unless it's under load (IE when your driving) so the temp can drop back down a bit when it's just idling.
Factory temp gauges are terribly inaccurate anyways, so it's nothing to worry about.
