Slupanter Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Hi guys. Do I need to wait till my ST oil temp is 50 degrees or can I drive and wait for it to warm up. I've been driving it keeping the turbo off and below 2000 rpm till the oil warms up. Good plan or over worrying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy199 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Different model but in my mk1 RS I have a scanguage and personally wait till around 80c before booting it, Dont necessary stay off boost just drive slower till upto temp Then coming home drive the last few miles off boost letting the oil and turbo cool down :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Use Torque Pro (If you use an Android phone) and a bluetooth OBD module in the data port. It will notify you with a voice message when up to optimum temperature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 This is the one I use- http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=261417431181 It works well with Torque Pro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 the focus restricts engine power whilst then engines cold to prevent wear and damage so sitting warming it up is a waste of time it warms up quicker while driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
