Sorry guys just thought I'd share this with you straight from the service manual!

having said that, these last couple of days with the hot weather in Melbourne I've taken to keeping the temperature probe in the truck mine stays around the 7.0 to 9.0 degrees depending on whether the engine is idling or I'm moving, higher engine speeds reduce the discharge temperature even lower to 6.5- 6.8 degrees. Still not fantastic as my VS commodore ute outperformed this any day as well as my old sorento 4WD!! (around the 2 -3 degrees)!!! Crap I've previewed this and the formatting gets destroyed but you'll get the gist!!
