The last orange bar and the red temp lights on the tach never go off.


what is the normal oil temp once the engine warms up (outside temp around 15ºc - 60ºF)?
Also, does the last yellow portion of the rev counter goes ever off? (mine is always on, as well as the red one).

Thanks for a prompt answer, going tomorrow to the dealer for the annual inspection, want to have some background before facing the stealer.

(I presume this info is on the owner's manual, but I won't have it until tuesday...car was delivered to me on friday, owner forgot to bring the manual along).

Funny thing is that the temp. gauge is not reaching the middle, always below 1/4 from cold to middle. Maybe the thermostat is blocked open?

Thanks,
marcelo
