Anyone else notice this.. (that has Canview)

I had the car running for a little ride.. coolant temp was 142.
I let the car shut down...
It transfered the coolant to the tank.. I quickly put the car back in the "On" position. Did not start it..

It pumped the coolant back in.
Temp went down to 121..

So.. I guess.. that there is about a 20 degree loss in temp when the coolant transfers in and out of the engine?
It was about 32 degrees farenheight at the time I did this..

Anyone else notice any similar readings?

I would think they would keep it in the engine longer.. maybe until it knows the occupant had left the vehicle.. (by locking the door?)

Thoughts?

Yea, pretty typical to see a temp drop. Usually 10-20 degrees as you noted.
