Why is no-one watching their oil temperature??
Because it’s not 1975?!?
Splendid. Hasn’t realised the laws of physics had changed. So no one waits for the oil to warm up before pushing the engine?
I don't think there's many enthusiasts out there who will abuse their car from cold. With modern technology and engine tolerances, engine oil warms up so quickly these days, normally about 10mins or so on the Golf, and protective tolerances are built in to kick in at much lower operating temperatures.
The GTI isn't a highly tuned performance car either, it's a family hatchback with a moderate engine output from an engine block that's been developed and used for many years.
Whilst I totally get your sentiment, I personally think that in 2019 it's superfluous on a car like this and it doesn't even cross my mind.
