Ever since I got my car serviced recently the cylinder head temp reading seems to fluctuate a lot. Before the service it would sit around 87-88 all the time. It would occasionally move under certain circumstances, for example, running up a mountain the temp might creep up a bit to say 91. Coasting down long declines would drop to maybe 84.

Under normal driving it is now going as low as 81-82 and up to 91-92. The actual temps don't really worry me it's just the constant fluctuation.

Should I report this to the servicing dealer?

As long as there is no drop in overall water level you should be OK. Report it to the dealer for the next service, they may replace the thermostat.
