Default Running hot.

Just noticed this recently. Never checked my coolant temp before and it seems like I've been running hot for a long time. Sometimes it peaks to 240 degrees, highway driving is around 220. Thermostat, sensor or something else? The fan kicks on usually after I turn the car off.

Word on the street, the thermostat usually fails open.

On my 6, the fan usually comes on at about 218ish. Cruising temps are around 200. If you have a 6, the A/C will kick the other fan on.

Make sure your coolant is topped off and no air trapped anywhere. Check for blockages in front of the radiator. Maybe you have a Walmart bag in there.

No blockages or anything but it seems like the wrong coolant is in the car, it's green. My understanding is that Mazda oem is yellow right? Would that do it?

Mine is pinkish? It's the Asian stuff.
Different coolants don't cool different, but the wrong compounds in the coolant could adversely effect your system components.
