240-250 is pretty high, Mac. i'd be a little concerned there
tracking a car, it's hard to avoid, live with it...change out the oil soon.
but just jumping on it briefly and seeing that kind of elevated oil temp is a bit surprising. are the oil temp gauges on the RS4 accurate? has anybody checked?

There are a few vista points near my office. . .
I hit them hard (2nd gear red-line) and hit the on ramps at 3rd gear red-line. . . over several locations (about 10 minutes worth of abuse). At that point, it will climb to 240-250.
On the way back, in 6th, it cools down rapidly. So, I should have elaborated a bit on my orig. post.
