    Water and glycol transmit heat faster and better than oil, so "coolant" warms up faster. There is a way to manually adjust the degrees at which each of the orange segment lights goes off via Martyn's tool.

    Of course. Back when this forum started IIRC in 2003, the general consensus was to do what I described and it made perfect sense to me. I treated it as gospel and still do...original bearings and all (well, besides the two SA replacements).

      Yeah I used to watch the oil dot like you described, but then used the tool to get the lights more in sync. The lights are there to tell me that it's good to start ripping, so seemed off that the dot below didn't reach the desired temp yet.

      Youtube DIYs and more

      All jobs done as diy - clutch, rod bearings, rear subframe rebush, vanos, headers, cooling, suspension, etc.

        Side note for fun, tranny input shaft is spinning and warming up as the engine idles, so the only thing that is not getting warmed up is the diff without driving.

        It does not warm up enough from no-load rotation to really make any difference. Even the engine oil takes forever to warm up while idling.

          Yes it'll take hours, like I said, fun side note.
