Oil temps should be in the 210-225 range most of the time on the EA888 engines and will vary with weather/temps and engine load. My 1.8 (it's the same for this purpose) sits at 219 most of the time but in the summer I will see up to 225 and in the winter down in the 210-214 range. People that change their oil and immediately jump on forums/FB pages to report lower oil temps by 10 degrees are full of $hit IMHO. I never see any change that would be appreciable from oil change to oil change and l log/look at my data constantly. Folks don't understand objective data collection and see what they want to see. I remember reading a FB post from a guy that said his oil temps dropped 10 deg when switching to Liquimoly 5W40 from dealer oil...it's just not happening.
