I'm new to the 911. Have only had the car a couple months, and I'm also in the PNW. Even after a hour of spirited driving I haven't gotten the temp gauge more than halfway between the first 2 marks. Most of the time it's barely past the first mark. I have yet to get it to operating temp, including driving from Tacoma to Blaine. I replaced the temp sensor because it was leaking which made no difference. I did an oil change with Brad Penn 20w50, and it seems like I am getting higher temps, but still well below ideal operating temp, not sure why that would make a difference.

I was going to wait and see what the temps are like in the summer. If it is still low, I might try a lower weight oil.
