Oil temperature tracks load, not water temperature or minutes of operation.
Power: cold water & hot oil.
This.
From Stockers to Pro Stock. Fastest way is pre-heat the oil. Come out of the lanes cold. You have to tune for that. We're using gauges to measure down to 60 degrees water temp.
Brackets, .90, dial in consistency - warm it up. Keep the temp swing from first round to the final to a minimum.
10w30 is for bracket cars. Class cars go thinner. Haven't had a quart of 20w50 in my shop for decades. Stopped using dino oil too. Made a difference
Eliminating internal leaks and unnecessary oil flying everywhere except to the crank is part of doing that. Some builders tighten clearances in the bottom end as well.
Better oils than what we had years ago also helps
