Default Heating up a bit

Hi people,

Got a 95, 3.8L. Anyways no code good compression, on the normal gauge however its going up to the m on the normal gauge it use to go to the r before but its going to the m then the fan kicks on and it drops all the way in front of the n. Just wondering if I should change the coolant or what step I should take it runs fine and the radiator was installed 8 mo's ago

I dont think you have any problems. You can try changing the coolent but I would say wait until you reallly need to. As long as the fan kicks on (like its suppose to) then it should be all good. The only think I can think is that you might be starting to have a head gasket problem (very commen, even expected) with our years.
