Mine going back to 84 have always stayed about 600-700 warm 7-800 cold, When its cold oil is thickest and thats when rpm needs to stay low as on startup oil cant circulate, its to thick at extreme temps. To high an rpm and the oil bypass valve will open and circulate dirty oil. Ive seen motors ruined from being raced at high rpm in the first few minutes of startup from starvation. Its not as bad these days with 0-30 and 5-30 synthetics, but back in the 70s when 15-30 was commonly used it was a big issue. If mine dont idle at near 6-700 warm I have them fixed. The Idle air Control?

If you don't like that 'lurch' when shifting into Drive, then do it with your foot off (but still above!) the brake pedal. This will let the car move forward and absorb the extra jolt instead of transmitting it through the body. |
