Octavia III VRS 162TSI Oil Temperature

[VW Convert]

Remember that they claim that 1L per 1000km is acceptable! Could you imagine having to use 15L of oil between services?!

Effectively, putting in a litre every 1,000 KM, you'd be changing the oil three times between services, no need for an oil change every 15,000 KM ever!

My Eos with the 155TSI engine sits at or just over 100 in suburban driving and I imagine it would behave similarly to yours at highway speeds, I'm comfortable with that.

Cheers

After reading this post, I took the old girl out for a spin (140 km round trip). The first 70 km of the journey the oil temperature was between 90 to 93 degrees. On the return leg the temperature rose to 101 degrees and stayed at the temperature.

However, last year going to QLD via the Newell Highway the oil temperature sat on 107 degrees and after a couple of over-takes the oil temperature rose to 115 and slowly decreased to 110 degrees.

I also consider not only the load on the engine but, the ambient temperature of the day plays a part, during winter l have to travel 7.5 km before the oil temp gauge comes off --- to register 50 degrees, and during the summer months a distance of 4 km for the gauge to register 50 degrees...... (but l am know expert just my 2 cents worth)

Off topic note: The engine consumes 250 ml of oil between servicing

What model have you got?

Mine is pretty consistent, doesn't matter too much between 20-40 deg ambient it's pretty much always 105-112 on the highway after warmup.

Mine tend to peak between 101 - 105c, it rarely goes beyond 105c even in the recent Brisbane heat and I always give my car the bean whenever the condition allows me to . I've seen the temp rise to 110c maybe twice. The engine does consumes oil, around about 1.0L of every 8000km or so.

Pushed my MY16 Polo GTI hard on the run home from Bathurst-->SYD-->NTL yesterday after the 12hr race. Hottest I saw after climbing up to Mt Victoria was 106C.

You'd never know/care if the oil temp display wasn't there.

My Mk6 Golf GTI was the same, 113C on a track day at 38C ambient (Wakefield Park)
