Delay in the Engine oil temperature gauge?? Please provide Feedback!
 

It takes longer to heat the oil than it does the water. Perfectly normal.....Relax!

Yes, normal. What you're calling "engine temperature gauge" is really coolant temperature, which will be different than the oil temperature.

Why did you add two bottles of oil? Was the oil level really low by two quarts?

And the same LED stays lit from 135 degrees to over 200 degrees (water temp). It's a worthless "Gauge"

:iagree:

Yea the water gauge is worthless as it is on almost all cars. Usually by the time it moves its already too late.

Also I highly doubt that the recommended fill range spans 2 quarts in a car that only take ~6 quarts to begin with.

The gap from the low point to full point on the dipstick is 1 quart. 2 quarts is extremely low.

These oil threads are getting out of hand

2qt's would be off the dipstick, wouldn't it?

You're losing oil in a brand new car?? No that's not right at all. I mean unless you are driving it at Talledega. You shouldn't have to add any oil at all between changes. Maybe an ounce or two if you want to be completely anal. No way should a new car go through 2 qts unless you have a major malfunction. I'm no mechanic but this just seems insane to me.
