Unfortunately, we don't have engine oil temp gauges so you basically have to figure it out yourself. Coolant reaches operating temp within minutes, oil takes longer.

Good comment, and I agree. its very important that oil is up to temp. By way of comparison, the E46 BMW M3 and probably other M cars would have rev lights that would go a way as the oil came to temp to let the driver know to not get on it until hot. On my 2020, it has a temp reading, I wait until is 200 degrees or more before I drive spiritedly. I don't go full throttle crazy until I've driven for a good 20 mins. That may be overkill, but you can feel the engine is much much smoother when all the metal has expanded to full operating temp, this takes some time tho even after oil is up to temp.

We always lift the hood after a drive and let it cool down. Lot's of heat with the twin turbos. Sounds dumb, but the paint jobs on these aren't the best.

Good to know I'm not the only one. I raise the hood too, I was thinking about the under hood plastics. I want this car to last a long time
