What Temperature is Considered High for a Car?

[DeArcher]

Generally, the temperature gauge reaches the 90 mark. Below is a detailed explanation of car temperatures: 1. Range: Temperatures between 80 and 110 are normal. This depends on whether a thermostat is installed and the altitude. Temperatures outside this range are abnormal, and both excessively low and high temperatures can damage the engine. 2. Car Overheating: Car overheating typically refers to the engine (also known as the internal combustion engine, which is further divided into diesel and gasoline engines based on the type of fuel burned and ignition method) reaching a temperature that is too high for the normal operating range, affecting the machine's performance and potentially causing damage. "Excessively high temperature" usually means above 85 degrees Celsius, although different engine models have different standards. The further the temperature exceeds the normal range, the greater the damage to the engine.
