What maximum operating temp for integra?

[jesmine0]

Hi, Sorry for this noob question.

Just wanna know what is the operating temperature range for integra?

the car is running at 82C on freeway and 92C for normal driving. However, when it stop at traffic light, it can go up to 98-100C. Just wondering if it would be too high or is accceptable?

The car is 2002 dc5R

thanks

I think if over 100 for DC5R, there should be something wrong, try to change to new coolant to see if it will lower the temperature.
My Dc5R same as yours:

but I never get over 95

are your fans coming on when you are at a standstill for a prolonged period?

Thanks for the info.

The car had just flushed and filled with new coolant and installed the water temp gauge. That's why i noticed the temp was going up so quick when stopped. like within two minutes it goes up from 92-98C

I had manual fan switch and the auto switch doesn't work properly. I guess i had to turn it on whenever i stop.
