You gotta load the motor to get oil temp up. Without load oil never really gets hot. Warm up laps with no load is almost wasting fuel if you are trying to get oil temp up. I tend to see it 0.01 slow if the oil temp is low from a long break or first hit of the day and not heating oil up to normal operating temp.


You are absolutely right. I have been using a cartridge heater in my oil for years now so it's hot when I roll up for my first lap.

I use 10w30 full synthetic last three years. Heats up fast. I stopped using 20w50 eight years ago.
