Engine Underheating
My temp gauge has not been coming up to the first line. After a 25 min drive last night, the oil on the end of the dipstick was just warm. Maybe 80 or 90 degrees. Trombone oil cooler was cold.
Same thing this morning. Cold trombone (oil cooler for those of you with wandering ideas). Didn't check the dip stick, but the big oil line feeding the engine from the oil tank was barely warm. (80 or 90 degrees). On both occasions, I noticed that the oil filter is plenty hot MUCH hotter than the dip stick.
Perhaps this is nothing as the car has always warmed up slowly and it is quite chilly here lately. The trombone has been working (mine and the one in the car, in case you wonder), in the summer.
Sadly, it looks like I'll have to drive a longer, windy rural route home. For testing purposes, you know.
