Sami,
I believe that the normal oil temperature should be over 100 degrees to burn
off condensation and the like. 80C sounds more like coolant than oil temp.
Cheers!

It doesn't take 100 deg. C for water to start evaporating. I mean, leave a
glass of water in a room temperature, and it'll eventually evaporate, too.
FYI, the oil in my 1.8T engine (A4) always ran at about 80-85 deg. C. I had
the used oil analyzed many times, and it never indicated that water was
present. I kept asking my dealer and AoA about this temp, and they always
said that this temp falls well in what they consider "normal" operating
range.

120 C is the normal temp for oil in a fully warmed up engine while being
driven on the highway at 2000-3000 rpm (most vehicles). This corresponds to
about 250 F. It should *definitely* be well above 100C (212F)!

I don't think so! This is the normal temp range for coolant, not oil. Oil
should be significanbtly hotter than your coolant, in ANY 4-cycle gas
engine. Diesels -- perhaps a bit cooler than gas, but not below the coolant
temp.

Can you please provide a reputable source for this information?
Thanks,
