About 1/2 is where my car is up to temp in Texas 100 degrees ℉ outside. But honestly, with a little 2.0 liter, modern engine technology, and the synthetic the dealer puts in our cars. It takes no time flat before the oil is everywhere it needs to be, and the temp isn't a big deal. With that said, I'll be letting my car reach operating temp before reviving past 3K. To each thier own.

I live in Houston as well... takes about 10 minutes normal driving keeping it under 3k to get the engine oil above 190 degrees, with water at about 193... Scangauge II is a good thing:
