Winter engine temperatures
Is anyone else having trouble getting heat into their engines in this cold weather and keeping it there? I'm a little concerned it's taking a long time for my Hawk STI to get up to normal operating temperature (86C). I'm thinking of trying the partial radiator blanking method of reducing the coolant effect of the rad to aid temperature gain. I'm also thinking of dropping the oil from 10w/40 to a 5w/30 as the oil pressure is through the roof and, like the water temps, is taking ages to get to operating temperature.
Anyone got any comments?
