Running in a new Mk7 GTI

Yes defo, I've been doing the same - it's also great how Oil Temp is 1 click up from MPH (which I have it on normally), so you can flick up and down to have a quick check on oil temp if staying on MPH. It's the small things

I don’t mind giving it the beans from 50C oil temp (which is still probably massively protective of the engine and turbo) – modern fully synthetic oils hardly change viscosity over the temp range 10 – 110C.

Good news that it won't stay tight for too long. My normal route to work is about 80% motorways so will avoid that for a few week. Great that is has an oil temp display as so many modern cars don't. I religiously let my cars warm up properly so that shouldn't be a problem- a previous car drummed that into me!

I always wait until 90 Deg to give it the full welly. Perhaps I'm being too cautious
