Blinking oil temp reading

When it does this does it mean you shouldn't drive until temp hits 176 or just drive slowly until temperature is reached?

means, you shouldn't romp on it until it hits 176.

But normal driving is ok while it's blinking right?

Wasn't sure if this was the warm up time required before driving. Glad it isn't because it takes a while to hit 176.

yes normal driving is okay.

This scenario came up yesterday actually. I was going home from eating with my friends g37s coupe and a g35 tt coupe, we were driving on the highway, but I didn't want to floor it until the temp reached 176, it took awhile. By that time we had to go our separate ways :o So no race.

i thought that the car would not let you go fast until the oil reached the proper temp.
