Give the oil 10 minutes to warm up before taking the revs above 2k. I use this rule on every car.

When the oil is cold it can not lubricate properly and means there is metal to metal contact which causes excess wear. 85% of engine wear is done from cold, and that's just driving normally. Ragging it from cold causes a silly amount of damage

Hope this helps.

Drag racing cars are designed to be used for only a couple of quarter miles, your car is (presumably) a road car :thumbup:
