Hi everyone,
I posted a thread a few weeks ago asking about the use of 0w20 508 oil in my 2019 GLI. I also asked about oil temperatures at that time, as my general oil temperature usually hovers between 225 and 228.
Today I had the opportunity to take a long road trip with my new car and I noticed a drop in oil temps on the highway. Today in the northeast the temperatures were very hot, in the low 90's at least. I have grown accustomed to the usual 225 temperature, so I was shocked when on the highway going about 80 mph the temperature dropped to 214-218.
I am currently running the factory recommended 0w20 oil. Is it normal/possible to drop almost ten degrees on the highway?
Thank you!
