I admittedly "baby" the car and keep it under 3000 rpms until the oil temp needle reaches the middle. Once it's at the middle, I'll open it up several times as traffic allows. Rarely to redline though, often to 6-7k. Would you say this is bad practice to baby it, keeping it under 3,000 until the temp needle reaches towards the middle (210)? It sounds like the OP did this as well and I'm sure lots of owners do this too.
