Okay time for another wrinkle..... WHY are you guys/gals waiting for seconds or minutes for a cool down???? WHY do you not wait until your engine temp hits X degrees???
Just curious how you can tell temperature cool down with time.
I typically shut mine off when my coolant temp hits 187.... just a random number I selected for no reason at all.... Seriously.
Actually it is a number that I can remember. Guess it has something to do with penal code numbers I have heard.

I admit I had no clue it existed. It would definitely circulate coolant while the engine is temporarily cut off at a stop light, which makes sense to keep the climate control happy. Does it circulate coolant through the turbo after final shut down? I’ve never heard it run.

I don’t normally have a display where I can see actual coolant temp. Just … 4 bars, which never changes once it gets warm.
If you mean the oil temp - that number is wild, inferred based on calculations not an actual sensor, and I don’t put a lot of stock in it as a meaningful value - other than if I see it do something unusual.
