Interesting fluid temp observations on our ‘24 Carnival

I agree
The engine comp is 12.3:1......which really thrives on premium fuel, especially is very hot weather.

It really is a world of difference. It still tries to shift too soon, like most new cars. But at least with premium it has the power to accelerate at low rpm. The van is in negative timing quite often under load with 87, per live data stream.

There in one right in the pan...
Can't miss it

yes, It seems to have the same level/temp sensor as the bigger diesel engines. Nobody here in europe ever bought a V6 so I never seen one up close. Most bought the 2.2 diesel. But none of the smaller engines had it (maybe the 2.0 diesel did too)

I agree.....
I also frequently watch live data.
Lots of timing pull on 87.....even noticable hesitation.
It's nasty.
