    I had the car running for a little ride.. coolant temp was 142.
    I let the car shut down...
    It transfered the coolant to the tank.. I quickly put the car back in the "On" position. Did not start it..

    It pumped the coolant back in.
    Temp went down to 121..

    So.. I guess.. that there is about a 20 degree loss in temp when the coolant transfers in and out of the engine?
    It was about 32 degrees farenheight at the time I did this..

    Anyone else notice any similar readings?

    I would think they would keep it in the engine longer.. maybe until it knows the occupant had left the vehicle.. (by locking the door?)

    Thoughts?

    Yea, pretty typical to see a temp drop. Usually 10-20 degrees as you noted.
