Is it a characteristic of the oil?
That's most likely caused by using the throttle during the first 30-seconds of cold start. That drives pressure up, and makes the 70% and 90% readings unreliable. I'm going to see if we can re-run the analysis to remove entries with throttle. No guarantees because we're not sure how many samples that might remove. It might remove all samples from a temperature range. We will see.
