O RLY?

Sean seems to think its 100, but last time I checked I swear it was lower than that.. so even at 100 its not an issue?

Light was on the cusp of flicking on and off, so it wasn't getting SUPER hot, but yeah enough to warrant me changing the coolant for something a bit better!!

The oddest thing is that the temp gauge sat ever so slightly lower than normal before the light came on, but not LOW as in when there is no coolant in the system!!! We all know how crap those stock gauges can be, so I'm not going off that at all.
