No, either way that is still wrong. Temperature difference between the source and the sink is what drives heat transfer. Not the time.

See, for example:

But if that old saw about "time in the radiator" works for you, feel free to keep believing it up
Anyhow I agree that the engine is not overheating - but I want it to run at 180-185 on the highway.
