Normal C43 oil temperature?

I've had my C43 sedan for about a week now. Since day one the oil temp has read 200-210 degrees F when driven normally. This seems fine to me, but the AMG center console display shows it as a tick or two above center.

edit: These oil temps are in 60-75 degree F ambient temps.

What temperatures are other seeing?

I'm from up north which is part of the metric side of the world, as such it's been cold around here since I got my car. My car seems to run around mid to high 90's Celsius so that would be similar to your temps.

My C63S runs about 213 F on the engine and 183 F on the trans.

C43 oil temp

My C43 is about a month old and is showing an oil temp of 203°F, transmission temp of 111°F, and water temp (approx.) 96°C (204.8°F). Don't know if this is "normal" for this car. Ambient temperature is between 44°F and 53°F currently.

If that is just normal driving temperature, then I think that is normal.

It should go a lot higher if you switch to sports+.

How hot can it get if in Sports+?

I noticed in COMFORT, the temp was around 90-95 degrees Celsius. Not sure what other temp was showing on my AMG gauge? Anyone know?

Perfectly normal temps. I peak in the 215-218F range during spirited driving in S+, but it quickly drops back to 205-210 when I go back to normal driving.

Thanks for not opening a new thread and finding this one mate, haha.

On spirited driving in a city, temps can hit as high as 110C engine and 100 for tranny. I will cool down quick if you life off and take it slow. On the track while chasing down a corvette, I saw temps as high as 118C for engine and 112 for tranny. Same if you chasing down a car in highway.
