Oil Temperature in M2C
I picked up my 2020 M2C a few weeks ago and am painfully making me way through the break-in period. I've been monitoring the oil temp gauge and have had trouble getting to "ideal" temperature in the middle of the range. For me, the range starts at 160F, and the middle is 250F. This seems high based on what I'm reading on here. I live in San Francisco (so usually 60 degree weather recently), and after going for drives for 1hr+, I still can only get to around 200-210F.
So, I was wondering: (1) how do you guys usually get your car to temperature quickly, and (2) what temperature should I really wait for before pushing the car (after the break-in, of course)? |

If you use sport plus mode for engine/throttle you activate the additional cooling and the temperature will not exceed 200F, use efficiency or sport mode to get the engine to temperature quickly and you will see 230/240F At 200F the oil is hot enough to push the car to high revs.

I have the electronic steering wheel which allows me to monitor the exact temperature by degrees. Once it hits the 200F* threshold you're good to go, but it will take longer to get there if you're in Sport+. This usually takes about 10-12 minutes to reach in Comfort.... |

So it's only Sport+ and not just Sport that has the increased cooling? I have been running on efficient until the car has warmed up then switching to Sport. Haven't really used Sport+ yet.

You will instantly note a big increase on cooling if you set to sport+ mode, you can clearly hear the fan working

On the OG M2 if you push the car hard in any of the sport modes you can still get it up over the 200* mark pretty easily.
