Even in cold weather it's not the end of the world if it takes the oil a little longer to warm up. I'm not trying to start an argument here, just trying help out. I have had several cars with this EXACT setup. Don't assume that just because I live in So cal doesn't mean I haven't seen cold climates with my cars. My grand mother lived at the top of the highest grade on the way into Lake Tahoe for close to 10 years. Last time I checked It snows there every winter to. I just think that you are talking about alot of work for saving a few miniutes of warm up time
