How long befor oil is up to temp?
If i run my WRX02 plate carefully keeping the revs below 2500 rpm how long would it take to get the oil up to the right working temp from cold?
thanks for your time

A lot longer than you may think.
The best thing I ever bought was an Oil Temp gauge.
I have a 4 mile commute to work (taking 8 minutes) and the oil temp has only reached 70 degrees.

Well i used to have a Focus st which had an oil temp gauge in as factory fitment,i could see that it took a fair amount of time to get to temp,this would be about 3 miles in distance though.
Now i let the scoob warm up for say 3-4mins and after about 10 more mins i have, on ONLY one or two occasions booted it but not for a long time nor a too long a distance but i have touched on 5000 RPM.
Do you think i have shortened the life of my engine by much?
