Default Spring and Summer Operating Temps
Could someone please post the "Normal" operating temps (Ranges) for the Engine (Oil and Coolant) and the A4 tranny.
I missed having my C5 last summer and would like to get a range too look for.

Normal operating range is 200-210 for coolant. Don't know about oil.

I have a 160 thermostat and mine goes the highest of 172, but if I am downtown cruzin, it may hit 190-200. Not sure about oil myself.

My coolant runs around 192-196 on the highway, oil seems to settle out around 200 or so when the car is moving and warmed up.
