Got a 98 Cooper SportsPack - Noticed that the oil temp gauge doesnt seems to move much; if at all sometimes.

Anyone know the average oil temp for my car? its hovering about 50-60' - is this normal? or is my gauge faulty?

Checked my oil - no probs there!

Thanks!! :grin:

Seems normal to me. Mine takes a few miles to get going. Don't rev it too much until it's risen a bit.

The highest I ever had it was 100 degrees ish, when doing 100mph.
