Hmmm as far the oil bieng the cause, I doubt it...but the more and more i read on bitog, here, and look at oil analysis, German Castrol seems to the perfect fit for this car. Anyways I'm really starting to beleive the ecu could be 1 of the culprits for high temps...

That really sounds like either a glitch or a sensor re-calibration issue.

That said, it does raise the question of how accurate the OEM temp sensor is...

I guess if anyone is feeling adventurous, they could install a secondary temp probe to compare and contrast...
