Hello, We have a New (slighty used) 2008 Enclave. The Temp Gauge stay right at 210 degrees, going down the road at 55mph.. The outside temp in Central Florida is about 90 degrees. Does any body know what temp thermostat, GM used in this engine.... It stays right at 210 degrees.. Is that Normal??? Thanks, Jim A

210o F is the normal operating temperature for the 2008 Enclave. My Enclave remains very steady at 210o F once the car has warmed up after a few minutes.

210 is the normal running temp for all lambdas. My Pontiac Grand Am GT also ran at 210 degrees. I believe the higher temp thermostats are employed to improve fuel mileage.

It's actually to improve emissions.
