Oil Temp/Variable Rev Query

[mudge6]

Recently joined the M Club and loving every minute so far, however I have a quick (and probably stupid) question about oil temps on the S54. It seems to take some time for the oil to come up to temp and never really seems to reach 100. Is this something I should be worried about? On a similar note, the variable rev limit lights extinguish relatively quickly however the final amber light remains constantly on. Should this ever completely extinguish to leave only the two red lights illuminated?

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Yes, quite normal. Oil temp will rarely get to 100 C as normal seems to be a few degrees less than 100 C. Yes the variable rev limit lights extinguish relatively quickly and usually about the time the oil temp reaches 50 C. Water temp come up pretty quick reaching about 80 C in just a few miles.

even on track on a hot day it rarelmy gets above 90. Quite surprising really.

Last amber stays on with the two red's so perfectly normal

As discussed in another topic, it's best to let the engine warm up for a good 15 mins before giving it the beans .

I've been doing exactly that to date, and ignoring the extinguished variable limit lights until the oil temp is up. It's just a shame it's only been doing a mile or two a day for the last few weeks.
