ditto on my old wrx, and the temp gauge on the dash would be at about halfway after around 2 minutes of driving, false sense of security

I use my oil pressure gaige as guide line, take 3km (summer) to 5km (winter) for oil to be warm, should it be more accurate?

oil will still be <30c after 5 mins AD.

I don't boost my car until it hits 60c, on my daily grind I drive from Wembley Downs and get on the freeway at Cedric St - the temp comes up as I pass over scarb bch rd - this is after maybe 2 mins idle on the driveway at home as I get my shit together.

Am I overly cautious? - Probably but I've never popped a bottom end either.

Sounds like I need an oil temp guage, I have been using the dash temp gauge as a boosting time guide, and that's up in a couple of minutes
