I have noticed that the temp climbs to a dangerous level when stopped in traffic,I dont think that fan is operating properly, sometime when I put it in neutral the temp cools down.Any ideas?

Turn the heater on when it gets warm. The extra coolant will help cool it.
2 places to check.
1) Under hood Fuse box, see if the fuse has burned. You may notice some browning in that area.
2) Check the plug that goes to the fan assembly. mine was pretty close to being fried.
3) Start engine and turn on A/C. Fans should be running. If not then fix fans before driving long distance.
Rest in Peace Charlie!

It shouldn't loose any AF, it probably leaked out somewhere when it started overheating. Unless it was a bit low for a while and an air pocket formed somewhere after time that blocked or slowed down flow significantly. Make sure to check the oil, but I'm sure you already did that. Do the belts look good? The overflow hose can alsoclog and cause the upper rad hose to collapse.
The fans problems on G8 can be intermittent so it may work fine for a bit. Check wiring, I had the 4way rad fan motor connector melt and short out causing a small fire even though my fans are operating fine now after splicing in larger Gauge wire. I still need to check the pins under the fuse box. Both fans should come on high with a/c on.
