Oil type and temp Questions (houston area)

When I spoke to the guy at z1 he said that the thermo starts in the open position and makes its way towards closed? I looked at the adapter and the pin is seated way back, you can barely see it in its housing. It would be awesome to have a little more info on this just as a fyi ya know? The 60's is warm and thats right about this time of year but in late semtember we start getting the cold nights and where I live in cali it does get to the hih 30's at night. I also agree that it would be an ugly sight plugging your sports car into the wall hahahaha. My dad did come up with an interesting idea and that was to grab a AT radiator. Being that it is a cross flow design to run oil lines from the mocal to that. Not sure if it would work or not but it would shorten your warm up time by 75%, but not too sure about that one. I kinda like keepin my stuff seperate.
