Default How significant is a 10-15F increase in oil temp?

Before chipping (2.7T) my oil temp was always at 225F, regardless of how I was driving. Now it's there most of the time but after staying on the boost (on and off) for a couple of minutes it will climb to 235-240F.

Sounds like it might be leaning out under boost...?

Default That's normal after chipping.

Make sure you use systhetic oil as it will maintain the viscosity. The temperature will return back to normal once you are cruising on the highway.

Default That seems to be Normal for a chipped S4.

My friend Joel's S4 was reading 265 or so after some road race laps with his APR chip. That seems to be normal on a chipped S4.

Ask Joel for more info. He goes by JDS on the S4 forum.
