I'm just entering my second season of autocrossing my 85 Citation FF (Kent engine). I've read is that you shouldn't load the engine until the oil temp is up to 160F or higher. How do you warm your oil sump? It takes a LOT of idling time to get the oil in the sump that warm. Of course, I'm running in temps ranging from 35F to 100F, with most days being closer to 70F.
I suspect that maybe the oil sump temp is less critical, and that the oil will quickly warm once it enters the hot engine.
What do you do to warm your oil, and how hot do you get it? Thanks in advance!
