RE: Warming up the Engine

["Hare,Stott (X)" <HAREST@allenbrook.iix.com>]

One other piece of info, more pertinent to turbo cars but reasonable for
NA as well.  At idle, the oil pressure is lower than when driving.  I
heard
it mentioned (or read it somewhere) that idle oil pressure may not be
adequate to supply all the ancillaries with all the oil they require.
i.e. the turbo bearing surfaces may get some oil, but less than they
like
and less than they'd get under power.

Don't know if this is complete bunk, but is does seem logical.  Bentley
doesn't provide great oil flow diagrams.

Just my .02
