Oil temps in the North East USA?

[LL - NY]

Ah yes, but the C4 chassis (as well as the type 44) is two sided galvanized. 
Trust me, the body won't rust out. And, an oil change is pretty inexpensive
insurance. A type 85 would be susceptible to rust, not sure if that is the car
you've had experience with as an Audi.
