Spearfish, Im no expert at this stuff, but I tried this morning to keep the revs under 2k rpm, and its next to impossible to do that until the oil warms up to 180F, which for me takes forever. Is keeping the revs under 2k rpm only for people with oil coolers? I just usually sit in my car for a minute to get the oil circulated, but besides that I dont really do much.
