(2) . They also logged the car and a problem was noted there as well - they didn't specify if it was a code or some other form of "data"

Thanks OP. I'm going to note these issues before my first service. The delay of four weeks for a part that historically fails, leads me to believe either they get used up more quickly than planned, or, they don't want to spend money on look-ahead storage in a warehouse here for a better customer experience.

I just read this thread last night for the first time and noticed that my oil temps were over 225 degrees F today, under normal driving (not start-stop) with outside temps of 69/70 degrees. I seem to recall the oil temp hovering around 200 or so. I hit a high of 232 under normal driving.....does that seem a little on the high side?

The cooling system is dependant on the mode e.g. if in sport mode (or sport plus) the normal temperature on modest day should be 90 degrees C/ 194 degrees f (and nearly rock solid on that) in normal mode the running temperature generally sits between 100 and 105 degrees C/ 212 to 220 f.
The important point being, in a daily driving scenario the oil temperature should largely remain very constant. So in my case, during daily driving when warmed up, the car is rock solid at 194 f - it hardly deviates from this. That is why I noticed the change over a period of a couple of weeks e.g. moved to a constant 198 f then on to a constant 201 f and finally just before I heard the intermittent whine to a constant 204 f (all in daily driving, in sport mode).
The key point being, in sport mode, it never returned to the normal "baseline" of 194 degrees f. For reference the highest oil temp, I have measured was during a motorsport event ~ 246 f (sport plus)

Mine crapped the bed at 17K miles. Got the "pull over and shut off engine" warning for water temp 250 degrees plus. Replaced under warranty. Also found coolant residue in several vacuum tubes, replaced those as well. Seriously, what is the deal with these pumps? 2017 C4S
