How many bars out of 9 on the car temperature gauge are considered normal?

[MacBlakely]

Generally, exceeding 5 bars out of 9 on the temperature gauge is considered normal. Temperature Gauge: The temperature gauge is used to indicate the temperature of the coolant inside the engine, reflecting whether the engine's cooling system is functioning properly. The gauge ranges from C to H, where C represents 60 degrees Celsius. Once the needle reaches C, it means the coolant temperature has reached 60 degrees; the red H mark indicates 110 degrees Celsius. Consequences of Overheating: If the car's coolant temperature becomes too high, it can lead to poor engine cooling. High temperatures cause components to expand, reducing the clearance between parts. Additionally, high temperatures decrease the viscosity of engine oil, exacerbating wear on components. If not addressed promptly, the engine may suffer severe damage or even complete failure. Conversely, if the engine temperature is too low, it can result in incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture, reduced power output, poor lubrication, and increased emissions.
