Stubborn oil temps! (help)

[txrocco at sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

normal engine temp is supposed to be ~ 100-110'c for the scirocco.
if you want to make it lower, you will need to get a oil sandwich plate
combined with and oil cooler ...

=>Hey all,
=>on the highway my car runs 110-115C(with 4K trans, 4000rpm@75mph)
=>oil temps. The water needle is usually at or above the LED.
=>Yesterday I super-flushed my cooling system(found lots of crap),
=>backflushed the radiator(found it was clogged with a heavy-duty
=>paper towel!), added a low temp thermostat and fan-switch, added
=>prestone orange coolant(40/60), some new hoses, and put on a new
=>expansion tank cap. Now on the highway the top of the coolant
=>needle barely touches the LED, an improvement, but my oil temps
=>are THE SAME. Changing the oil and filter didn't help either. It
=>seems no matter what I do, my temps are always 110 and my cooling
=>system doesn't affect the oil at all. Any ideas?
=>
=>-Rob
