Coolant temp
Any reason why coolant temps may drop 10 degrees when you put your foot down, then rise back up straight away to normal operating temp when driving normally ?. Could it be a thermo issue ?. It’s a 08 hatch

The oil temp would be affected by coolant temp, and you’d probably want the oil to be at working temperature so that it can evaporate any water vapour etc, and not sludge up.
Also the radiator and heater core matrix become more efficient the hotter they are, so there’s that too.

I would rather go Subaru OEM than anything low temp, unless it was specifically a race car, and maybe not even then.

no problems with the coolant at all. I’ve had a headgasket go so I know what to look out for luckily. Sounds like a new icp thermo then for sure. Cheers buddy
