Oil Temperature Operqting Range

[Highlander]

Have noted that one of the displays on the MFD in my CC TDI is oil temperature. Seems to sit around 104 C

May have missed it but can't find anything in the manuals relating to operating temperature.

Anyone aware of the acceptable operating range please

In my R36, the temperature meter to the left of the fuel gauge is always at 90 degrees Celsius when the car is warmed up. Is that the oil temp or water temp?

Water, Slouch. Generally, most thermostats operate 85~90 celsius, and the gauge will normally sit there like it is nailed in place.

I wouldn't worry about oil being around 104 degrees, it's exposed to more of the workings of the engine than the coolant, and coolant runs around 90-odd.

My car has sat rigidly on 90, even on the hot days in Brisbane lately with the AC running flat out, the car fully loaded, and bouncing around the hills in the west..

That's because VW have a little software tweak that forces the gauge to read 90C even when it is a little above or below (supposedly to stop owners freaking out if they see it move even a little bit).

Personally I would rather see it move slightly as the thermostat opens and closes, that way I can see everything is working exactly like it should.

LOL - didn't know that. I guess it says something about VW or VW owners in gereral, but I dont know which..... Likewise, I would prefer to see it display the real temperature. (Now someone's gonna chip in and tell us there is a VAG.COM tweak for this)

So far my oil temperature seems to operate around mid 90's to high 90's. Once, in just over 3000kms, I've seen 101C but not 104 yet.

No idea as to correct operating temperature but that few degrees higher than water seems right.

The oil doesn't warm up as quickly as the water. I wait until the oil reaches around 80 degrees before revving the car.

You can see the oil temp on the MFI.

As an example of oil warming up. It takes 6 km of driving before the oil reaches 80 degrees. The water will read 90 in about 3 km.

Is that on all MFI's? Cant recall seeing in mine
