The new Skoda has a oil temperature read out on the dashboard just want to know what you guys are recommend the perfect temperature when you think cars is hot enough so I can put my foot down a little bit harder I've been waiting till the temperature gets to 70     before put my foot down has anybody got any advice for me thank you guys   {{ p.s. I used to go by water temperature on the old car but  I suppose oil temperature  is the most important thing to be looking out for

The efficient Oil temp is around 92*oC, that can go up to the low 100*oC plus in summer in the UK, under load etc.

 

Maybe take a cold start easy for 5 miles or more and until 50*oC shows as an indicated temp.

That will change in winter and might take longer.

70*oC & above is OK.

 

The engine is not made of chocolate and really does not need treated with kid gloves, especially since the NSL is 60 and 70 restricted speeds.

 

Be sure to have your oil level in the Area A as shown in the Owners Manual when checked at Normal Operating Temp, so that is around 80-90*oC.

Do not wait for Low Oil Level Warning Lights.

Know where the At Operating Temp / Hot level is, then check where that shows when cold.

Thank you for advice much appreciated

My previous car came from Audi with an oil temperature related rpm limiter - the OE setting was 40 Celsius before the 4000rpm limiter was lifted to the 'normal' rpm limit of 8250rpm but several tuners changed the setting to 70 Celsius.

@PetrolDave

It would be useful if you said what engine the Audi had and what year of car.

 

The OP's is a 1.5 TSI EVO with GPF and it came from the factory with 150 ps Minimum and filled with VW508 00 oil, so 0w 20 FS IV.

2007 Audi RS4 4.2L V8 - engine code BNS

With my mapped 2.0 TDI I used to give it more when it gave a figure which started at 50 as root says. The hotter the oil the harder you can push .... To a point.

Now with a GTE the engine hasn't run long enough to get warm as run it on electric 99% of the time.

Being an old ft I tend to let everything warm up, metal and lubricants, tyres and so on before belting it.  I realise modern engines may not need much warming but what e-roottoot says makes good sense.
