Any tips or tricks for keeping heat in the oil? After installing a temp sensor in the oil pan I was pretty surprised to see how much oil temperature dropped as I cooled the coolant down between rounds. I have a stick on pan heater but have only used it before making any passes to warm up the oil.

Why not just run a lighter oil? That will duplicate your cSt rating without having to heat the oil at all. |

I use my pan heater in cooler temperatures. I do it more for consistency than performance. Racing is so tight now that a hundredth can make the difference between win and loss. During the summer here in D2 the oil stays pretty warm between runs.
