We all know how inaccurate the water temp gauge is, but mine started acting really funny as of today. Mind you, air temperature was low 70s and radiator is full of fluid. I happen to notice my gauge passing by the 7th dot, it continues to climb almost to the beginning of the H, maybe the 12-13th dot and then it steadily drops back to 6 then 7. My entire drive to work which is roughly 40 minutes my oil temp stays right at 215, but the water temp dances back and forth the entire way.

Return trip home, air temperature is now 50 degrees. Oil temp stays at 200 degrees. Again, the water temp gauge dances back and forth the whole way home. Any thoughts?
