Default RS4 Oil Temp

Pardon the newbie question, but the RS4 manual says oil temp should be at 120 F. I am seeing well into the 200's. Thoughts?

Default for mine 206-219F under normal driving, it will go up to 23X or 24X if

agressive or engine always 4k+ rpm.

Default Maybe they meant 210F? that would sound about right, but the digital oil temp on the car

wont even display a temp of 120. The lowest reading my digital display has gotten is 126F.

Default dyslexic Audi tech writers maybe? : )...

120 is laughable, if that's what is printed in his OM.

Default I've had oil temp readouts on a few cars, none ever read lower than 190 once warmed up

Your car is fine, definitely a misprint...

210 would make much better sense. That is the temp to shoot for.

Default Re: RS4 Oil Temp

Clearly a typo or you've left out some context. At 120F, the oil is still just warming-up. Normal operating temp for my car so far is around 220F. I expect it will be higher once the summer arives (ambient temp has been a pretty cool 50F on average here in the Seattle area). Motor is still tight too with only 600 mi so, on the other hand, I expect that's contributing to its running a bit hotter than it will once it's fully broken-in under similar operating conditions.
