Why is my Audi 80's engine oil temperature too high?

After driving my Audi 80 for a longer period of time, I noticed that the engine oil temperature gauge is showing an unusually high temperature. Is this a cause for concern and how can I fix it?

Hi Sophia, high engine oil temperature can be caused by a number of reasons. Some common causes include low oil level, dirty oil, faulty oil cooler, or a malfunctioning temperature sensor. Check your oil levels and schedule a maintenance service to have your oil changed if needed. If the issue persists, it's best to have a mechanic inspect and diagnose the specific issue.
