well i just bought a 96 Contour GL and it is running in the L range the fans come on and it never goes below the a the car isnt overheating (no coolant loss or boilover hell no pressure even after running it in traffic
it is bugging me that it runs so hot

i am going to replace the fluids and the Thermastat with a 180

so this is a common thing running all the time in the L on the temp gauge
