Uptime for coolant & oil
May the uptime regarding coolant and engine oil in general be manipulated via settings in the thermal management, or otherwise?
Any experince what who might be the short list contenders for the best format of heating the coolant; i.e. electric hose warmers or...?
Please elaborate.
TIA!

Not sure what you're asking or trying to accomplish, but I can tell you that the oil temps vary about 20-30 degrees depending if in standard mode (hotter) or Sport Plus (cooler).
Thermal management is critical in the 981/991 series as it relates to MPG's.
You can throw a 100 or 200 watt bulb under the engine to pre-warm it for cold mornings in your garage, or a nice little 750-1,500 watt space heater will get everything (coolant and oil) to about 120 in a 40-50 degree 2-car garage, overnight.

Thanks for your reply.
1) Is it possible to shorten the time needed going from "cold" up to full/normal working coolant & oil temeperature via manipulating the Thermal Management, in any way?
2) What is the best way and format, via electric heating, i.e. to evade cold start ups?

This is precisely what I was looking for!
Are there any 981S possibilities for this in the oem software, settings or otherwise?
My primary concern is the start up time regarding the coolant.

I'll echo that the coolant warms up very fast on my 991. But the oil temp lags coolant temp significantly, on warmup.
