Oil Temp gauge? -- Re: [s-cars] Re: S-CAR-List Digest

[Larry C Leung]

Actually was on a longish cruise today, and noticed the temp is a
bit lower than I originally stated (prolly, assuming the line is at 90C,
although another lister suggests it's 100C) 80C, and, like Rich's, it
takes awhile to get up there. Gee, maybe Audi really DID make a
great oil cooler ;-)   ....!
