I use one of these, helps bring oil temps up much quicker from cold.
Best investment for a street car. When my oil is 90°C it's time for thrashing. Many many motors have died because they were leaned on hard before their oil was at temp.

Negative. Oil temp is far more important than water temp. That being said, they are generally very close to the exact same until you really start extreme usage.

My water temp comes up super fast but oil temp seems to take forever to come up in this car. It's torture. But then once it's up there and you drive it hard it skyrockets. Hahaha

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...46&postcount=7 When I'm at the track and stuck with a cold engine or long periods of idling, I use the first lap out on track as an opportunity to warm up the fluids, but at least I'm not starting from a completely cold engine situation. -alex |

So based on what I'm reading, it's safe to really have a go at the engine (read: redline it
![]() Obviously that's provided the rest of the car is up to temp as well. |

I'm just saying not many cars come with an oil temp gauge (none of the 15 cars I've owned) so the closest thing we have to base it on is water temp.

Only that isn't what you said. You specifically said "Your water temp is a more important factor than your oil temp". This leads someone to believe that as soon as the water temp gauge reaches its normal resting place you are good to go when in reality the oil temp trails WAY behind. Water doesn't lubricate the engine, oil does.

When my water is up to around ~190f the oil temp is anywhere from 140-160f and this is in Florida winter. It takes at least 6-10 miles before the oil is just getting up to around 200 degrees.
Please cite some sources for this. I have never once heard or seen of this happening(to a street car), just a lot of internet parroting. |

Bare minimum is about 160F for me. I like to wait till 180F, (or try to get it to 180F) but sometimes I get to the on-ramp a bit too quickly and have too little self-control...
