hi,

its a small company in germany which is making this ones.

ff- autotechnik, you will not know them in the States.

last oil change is some 10.000 km ago.

whats surprising is really from the day i have the exhaust the oil temps jumped. i guess nothing to do with oil.

Higher combustion temperatures due to running lean could produce more heat.

A custom tune could correct the AFR ratios if that is the case. Anything up around 110-115C is pretty normal but if you drive on the autobahn regularly then you are going to need an oil cooler.

Yes if you do the Uprev a reflash is required. Some dealers are willing to tweak AFR's as well.
