The boiling point might apply if it was straight water. Using the correct antifreeze will increase the boiling point.
AND 15 psi actually increases the "boiling" point to more like 235 F.

Mine usually runs at 210-215 in stop & stop traffic, the fan rarely comes on.

just echoing what everyone else has said really. as long as its below 240 or so you should be fine. mine has never went over 205 before, and that was when i was sitting in city traffic. 99.9 percent of my driving is highway driving so i never have the issue with the temp creeping up on me.

This thread died out 6 YEARS ago. Go back to YOUR thread that you started about your cooling problem. This thread really has nothing to do with any help you need.
