Oiltemps in the 130º range shouldn't really be a problem, as long as the coolant is at a steady 85-90º. The Audis I own/owned (my present A6, my Coupe, and the '92 Cabrio I owned earlier) that had original oil temp gauges have all had the red marking in the 170-180º range.

Are oil/water heat exchangers available for the 801 engines? I know many 827 engines have these, it might be worthwile to install one in addition to the oil radiator.
