    Wierd coolant problem

    Well this problem has been happening for a month now. I replaced my motor about two months ago. Now the car doesn't overheat at all, actually temps are perfect.

    Oil Reading

    I recently did a 7mgte swap in my cressida(front sump). I kept the original location on the dipstick on the turbo instead of drilling for the front sump application.
