What oil temp before WOT?

I was just wondering if there was a minimum number?

The car shows a flashing oil light when optimal temp has not been achieved.

75C and above is good


Car performs best under 65C at least mine does

So it doesn't hurt anything to go WOT at 65C oil temp?

Nah , just never go wot as soon as you turn on the car that could be bad. Run for a few minutes prior to smashing throttle . Go to your gear/oil screen upon startup you can see how quickly oil temp is achieved. Too hot or too cold can be bad. Watch out for 125C and above as well

It steadies at 81C(stops flashing)

Stay off full throttle slammage under 60C, drive normally until 81C then hammer if you wish to be safe.


Just wanted you to know it was not 75C as I thought, 81 in my car this am

Guess I am lucky it gets to over 80 and a steady number about a block before I get to my favorite spot where I've been hammering it
