<VV> VDO Gauges-charging system

[Dennis PLEAU]

Your oil is a little hotter than I would like to see, but if you change it regularly it should be OK.  Synthetic has a little better resistance to oxidation than dino juice.  It has also been reported over and over it lowers the temp by about 20 degrees, so you may want to try it.
