I appreciate all comments and replies.

I have spent a lot of money on the engine, and perhaps I am just paranoid.

I have always thought that oil under 180 degrees is not efficient and is not fully lubricating. I just want to minimise the wear on the engine on start up. It will eventually rise to 160 - 170 but takes about 20-25 mins of light driving to get there, outside tempature is quite low. In the first 20 mins, I keep revs below 3K.

So, if cold oil is not a problem.... I will stop worrying....
