That's cool, I've never covered mine and had zero problems last and the winter before. I know people say the best range is from 220-240 but that's mostly with old school oil (dino-oil) syn oil is designed for higher and lower temps. I have the 25 row and last year we went to the track when it was 30 degrees out. The other z guys would make a pass and have to sit it out a turn or two and let the car cool. I on the other hand made 8 back to back passes and drove home with no problems. Just me but I don't think it's needed for us Louisiana guys.

I barely have been able to get the oil up to 180 in the mornings by the time I get to where I park (7 miles). I really do not want to run it too low a temp, so at least a partial block will get my temps up quickly, but will still keep them reasonably cool.
