Suggest you ratchet back a notch or three and reread sleeperZ's post and my response which was specifically in reference to his statement "180 degrees is the optimal operating temperature for an internal combustion engine running on fossil fuels."
Zetec/Duratec ownership is irrelevant regarding above, although I'm aware the thread is Zetec Heat.

Well said.
It is optimal. When running my car at the track it made a 3 tenths of a second difference in times with differences in engine temp.  What would I know?
