I just laughed at myself when I read this and then though about it.
I have an oil temp guage in the hilux.
I know where the needle points if its normal driving and where it points if I`ve been giving it a hard time.
But I have no idea what the temp is at those spots

Yeah mine stays low untill driven.
Even then its some where around the same as the water temp till it gets lots of revs for long periods of time
