What are typical oil temperatures you see when giving normal and then spirited drives?

Average ambient temperature would also be appreciated.

normal about 89C track 130C

90-92 *oC when at around 70mph and its below 20*oC Ambient.

 

95-105*oC when going a bit faster or it is a but warmer weather,

But the Oil temp is always attempting to get back near 92*oC,

(Coolant ie Anti Freeze / Summer Coolant is at the Temp the Engine runs efficiently at, and the Oil is itself a Coolant)

 

Just maybe do not use Oil like Castrol Edge / Quantum, which the VWG recommend for the Twinchargers,

and your engine might run a few degrees cooler, or go back down cooler quicker when you get it up high.

Ambient here is 32-35 deg C during daylight and drops to 23-25 deg C at night. While I don't have a cave or cthe engine I have a remapped cavd putting out 200 bhp approx which is close to stock vrs power output hence my questions on here.

After the remap my temps have gone up generally to 93-95 degrees C when driving normally up to 70 mph and about 107-110 when driven in a sporty manner during the daylight.

I was initially concerned with the temps as many say switch to colder plugs to reduce temps and also change oil. I'm using pentosin 5w40 Vw 502 approved engine oil and the latest spark plugs (03C905601B) with no issues so far. Is it really worthwhile switching plugs when our temps all seem to be within a certain range anyway?

Also how do you guys know what the equivalent colder spark plug is? I've only found an ngk part number for this plug: SIZFR6B8EG and I have not found a way to compare it to other brands.

The Australian members will be using their cars in similar temperatures to yours, and also there are remapped ones over 200 bhp going on track.

See what they say.

 

I would forget those 'uprated' recommended spark plugs that VW / Skoda / Seat / Audi changed to and maybe get DENSO 

plugs.

After all the NGK's Long Life OEM plugs are still failing in 1 cylinder in the UK in cases, so basically still cr4p.
