Temp gauge display compared to hidden oil temp
Thought I would compare the Temp gauge display (which is a combination of Oil and Water temp) to the hidden menu actual oil temp.
Temp was 20c outside and very sunny. after driving, as soon as the gauge said 'OK' ... Stopped and checked the actual oil temp. It read 72c, so i think this is warmed enough to start extending the car - 'OK' indeed?! Then went back to gauge display, and drove until it hit fully warm (middle of gauge) Then again, checked the oil temp - 96c So looks like the gauge is pretty accurate which is reassuring to know for spirited driving.

Good to know, thanks for posting, i always wait until the needle is in the middle of the gauge before i drive spirited anyways even though it says OK generally a 1/3 of the way across.

Its was exactly Chris Harris that made me double check (as then the manual said a combination of water/oil). So not sure how that can be accurate, as those two temps will differ...
