FYI Water temps come up WAY faster than oil temp.

Water temp comes up within 5 mins, oil temp around 10 mins.

They don't show you the same thing. Water temp is an external temperature, oil temp is an internal temperature.

Water temp can be 90 degrees whilst oil temp is 110 after a good run on boost & vice versa - oil temp can be 80 degrees whilst water temp is at 140 if a fan fails or your thermostat sticks shut.
