I typically get my engine to 210, oil to 200 and trans to temperature 180 before I start pushing it. Typically takes 20 minutes on the highway. Is it a must to warm up or can I be more aggressive at colder temps?

I’d wait for oil temps to hit 160 ish before really getting on it.

Engine oil temp gauge is located in your instrument display under Truck Info.

I’ve copied someone else’s pic from here on the forums.

Also, there's a forscan change to add the actual temp above the oil temp gauge.

sorry, that's engine coolant...:(

I Start pushing at oil 160 / trans 110 and don’t move it until engine and trans are both at least 100.

idle before shut down for about a min.

Right on. By the time the coolant is at 200, oil is at 160 and trans is 120.
