Yes you will struggle get engine up to higher temperature if you are doing lots of short journey

Ok mate thank you. I do fairly short journeys,my main one being to work and back which is approx ten miles each way, anything from 25-45mins drive on average. Don't want to fit an oil cooler if it means I can't have a blast as the engine's too cold, defeats the purpose!

Hello E. No I don't mate, something else i've looked at but not sure i need. Looking at it though, it may be a better option. Thanks mate.

I have to do othe odd trip to work and get to the 80 degree point after about 10-15mins of town driving, keeping under 3k. Not sure how long the oil takes to heat up without a cooler as I fitted the gaug at the same time.

Any body got gauges with out an oil cooler care to give a comparative time to warm up?

I haven't got any gauges so there lies another potential problem. As i said above, I don't want to be blasting about in it if it's not at temp. Thanks for your reply mate.

Cheers CJ, obviously works well then.

Thanks for all your answers guys, given me plenty of food for thought.....
