    Mines 90 at "normal" driving, 100 when "spirited", 110 when "very spirited".

    After "very spirited", goes back to 90 after a mile or so of "normal".

    Regret definitions of "normal", "spirited" and "very spirited" are top secret!

      how long does it take to warm up ?

      wonder if it could be a gauge ?

      mine takes and age to warm the oil up,
      Id say at the temps you are showing nothing to worry about

      cold oil is as bad as hot oil.

      does the fan kick in ??
      if its not maybe that's why it gets cooler when driving a bit harder.
      Still the water temperatures ok so probably not that

      could just be he cooler full of shit
      it sits in an open place ( that's how it cools the oil)
      maybe its just corroded

        Fitted new oil temp gauge today (£43 plus vat from dealer) and took the car for a drive - took approx. 9 miles for oil to reach 90° and it remained there with fast and slow driving and a/c on or off
