i have a 96 s500 with 4,000 miles and mi temperature stays close to 120 is this normal the car is almost new

 

i think thats a little too high. my 00 s500 runs about 85* c.

 

yea, that is definately too high man. My 1996 S500 has 126,xxx miles on it, and it runs at about 89 degrees.

You should get it checked out. In know a guy who also has a W140, and his temperature went up to over 90, and his car overheated, and cooked alot of his engine.
