Oil temp question...
With my S4, I didn't have this display, but now with the RS4 we get it right in the middle of the dash. What's the normal temp? Mine is showing 200-219F. The manual says that 120F is normal operating temp.
PS. we are having 100 degree weather in my area right now.

check the manual again
it might say 120C. Oil is usually about the same temp as the coolant. Oil should sustain a temp of 200-225F so that the moisture in the oil evaportates.

120 C = 248 F
120 C is the "normal" operating temperature.
120 C * 9/5 + 32 = 248 F
Mine typically runs about 210-220, quickly going higher as RPM's are held but I have never seen 240.
