And he may be right , there may not be 'anything wrong' with the car....as it wasnt with mine either when I bought it and it ran 235F on my way home from Dallas after buying it....I still worked on it to reduce those 235 to 205 then to 190, by different means over the years. the setting of the idiot light is to come on over 245F so, at least up to that degree it should be safe
