what oil temperature?

[SpineOnABap]

Anything upto 4,000 is fine when cold. I don't go above that until the lights have gone out, since they're tied to the oil temp on the CSL (unlike the M3 where they're tied to water temp).

Anyway why's it 2700 and not 2800 or even 2750?

Well it's been alright for me for over 5 years, not gonna start worrying now

And 4,000 is below the minimum warmup light, and only half the maximum rev limit.

It's fiiiiiiine
