    2000 grand prix gtp 2 door. at what temp does cooling fan come on? lol i turn on my defroster at roughly 200 degrees to keep temp down and i plan to put a new 195 degree thermostat in at some point this summer. i am simply afraid of frying something due to high temp....

    Hey man good to have ya n welcome to the forum, knew you would come lol.
    There could be lim gaskets, pretty normal. Coolant elbows, thermostat could be stuck. I would start by checking to see if coolant or oil is mixing or vice versa to help eliminate likely causes.

    Factory settings turn on fans at 212-215 if I remember. 225 is borderline overheating
