2000 Olds Intrigue Over heating	Sign In

I have had my 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue (V-6) for over 2 years and not once has it gotten to the halfway point on my coolant needle, but for a week now it has been at half and going up to over 3/4 of the heat. I have taken it to 2 different shops and they do not know what can be causing it. I am at a loss, I can't keep pulling my car over and letting it cool. Can anybody give me any ideas?

Have you pressure tested the cooling system?

Is it losing any coolant over time?

Is the cooling fan coming on with the A/C?

I am not sure what they did to it, but I am not losing any coolant, because I have been checking my car for any leaks since last week and there has been nothing underneath. My radiator and overflow tank are where they should be with coolant.
