Lower oil temps in Sport mode. Someone will explain why.
Thanks, yeah I understand the lower average temperature; I was more asking about the RATE of rise of temperature.
Say you are leaving the house in the morning. Will the car get up to Temp sooner with Sport on, or Sport off?
If there are oil coolers involved (like my Cayman) which switch on automatically with Sport, it would seem that the car would take longer to warm up the oil. Hence, it would get to operating temperature LONGER, but I'm not sure about the Turbo engine in the 991.2,

Sport mode on because your car is operating at higher engine revs, generating more heat. In auto (PDK) with Sport mode on you'll hit the oil temp about 2 minutes faster. Manually shifting, the difference disappears because you are controlling the engine speed.
I get my new 3rd radiator installed next week and am excited as i understand it brings the motor temprature up more quickly. In addition to the cooling capacity this should prolong engine life by running cooler overall in s+.
How many engines do you know of that were replaced because they were worn out?
