Pulled dipstick and oil's smokin' - Normal?
I'm a new owner of a used R56 Justa 6 speed with 13,500 miles. Returned from a 30 minute drive and checked the (synthetic) oil. When I pulled the dipstick out, there was some oil smoke coming out of the dipstick tube. I didn't expect it considering the short drive, and the oil level was OK. Is this normal?

So the oil runs hot. Is 225 degrees typical for stop and go driving?

I have been looking into this for a little while now. On mine...i have the chrono package.. it runs a little over the half way tick. The half way tick is 210 degree's as it turns out. Well, when I am on the highway and doing uh.....a little speed for a while....it runs at about 225. VERY (in theory...so I have heard...never did it myself ...officer...) spirited driving make it go up to about 240. (Speeds north of 110).
I think (hope) this is normal. To answer your question, 225 for stop and go is high in my opinion. 225 on the highway over 85 for an extended period, 225 is normal for me.
Oh and my engine temp is always dead center.
