Hi,

The engine temperature is fine on the highways but in town or traffic
jams goes up to quickly and the fan goes on.

What kind of tests can you do to determine if the engine is being cooled
properly?
How do you test the flow through of the radiator?

I am using the orange long life prestone coolant.

Thanks,

Hans
