I questioned the dealer about the level of coolant because it was toward the low side indicator. After swithing to a full Muzzy exaust I added coolant to the upper level. - By way of the radiator cap. It took about two cups of fluid but only raised slightly in the resivoir. I now run three bars up in 105 degree weather. Even in stop and go. Pop the cap and make sure the fluid is to the top of the radiator. It really helped me.
Three bars is what 186f ? If you only seeing that in 105 degree stop and go traffic I would question the readings the indicator is showing.
