RE: High oil temps...

there is definitely something wrong.  I would not drive it until you check
it out.  280 is REAL hot.  after pushing the car in 90 degree heat I might
get it up to 228 or 230 for a few minutes.  then back down to 220 with a few
minutes of "civilized driving".  take it to AWE if you can.

I've been using Mobil 1 synthetic 10W30 since the 30k mark. The jetta
currently has about 100k on the odometer. After driving around town for
a while the temperature might hit the 280 mark, just daily driving
(Southeastern PA). I guess I'll check the coolant system first then go
from  there...Thanks for the suggestions.
