Default Oil temp ~225F constant.... I have been watching it for a while and figured that it settles at 225F

even for very mild mannered city driving. Should I maybe change my coolant temp sensor to the blue one and keep my coolant temp low and it might help with the high oil temp. With a stuck-open thermostat I have never seen it over 170F. Now it's "fixed" and I am nervous again.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/2570670.phtml">Here's the link to my previous post.</a></li></ul>

Default I have spent enough on my car for now... and I am not an able person when it comes to this stuff ...

...I do not have enough tools and workspace anyways. I'll go back to stock ECU if I have to. So far the temp. does not seem to be very critical.

Default Interesting, I've got pretty much the same setup and rarely see just over 200F

only times it's higher is during hard running or back to back Auto-X runs

Default I keep wondering, if it has something to do with the recent thermostat change...

Last time I checked the oil level was fine, I'll check the oil pressure as well.
