Hey guys,
Took my Octavia RS to wakefield. Ran very well - no surprises there.
Oil temps hit 135c but didn't really go higher than that after a significant beating.
at that temperature, using the factory weight oil may make the oil too thin.
Would it be a better idea to run an external oil cooler with a thermostat, or change oil weight? Can I upgrade the factory heat exchanger and possibly put more load on the water cooling system?
Engine is a CCZ TSI EA888
I'll be buying the larger factory heat exchanger for the DSG as that's the last thing I want to have die on me.
thanks!
