Yeah I have not hit my upper limit yet. I am assuming that 9 volts is not the peak output of the fan controller. If and when I do, I will be pulling over and removing one of the grille blocks they are only held on with four screws and wingnuts.

I confidently tolerate 100(212), as long it peaks there, but if it becomes sustained and peaks much higher I intend to allow more air in manually.

I am running my car with Mobil 1 AFE 0w-5 engine oil, I buy it on sale and change it at 16000, saving time and money, the oil worked great this winter in my subzero temperatures.

I have enjoyed one big change in MPG so far and the next tank will be telltale ... might be very close to 40MPG(us), if I can keep the trips long, warm and below 90kph.

My car is like a sail above 90kph, lol. I actually get better mileage off the highway because my car has DCFO that is very sensitive to no load conditions that I am getting really good a taking advantage of.
