B8.5 S4 - Oil Temperature ?

[Bristle Hound]

I've recently enabled, via the Carista app, the oil temp / lap timer on my S4

What temperature should I be seeing on it when the car is fully warmed thro' ?
I'm seeing 90 degrees give or take a couple of degrees

Just wondering ...

Around 90deg normal temperature and anywhere from 90-100 when driving hard.

I don't think its very accurate however as 5 minutes of the car being off, I've seen drops of 15deg which isn't possible so quickly.

I get the same as @Darren92. No readout at all until 60C has been reached, thereafter it climbs into the 90s and sometimes beyond. I think I preferred the old-fashioned analogue gauge in my B5 2.8 Quattro.

Thanks guys

Same here, although I have seen it go over 100 after some hard driving.

I've had mine well over 100 and thought this was normal. What's the max it should be getting too?

Mine is usualy around the 100 mark iirc,up to 111/2 on a spirited run
