Thought so, but wanted to check as it "seemed too good to be true".

A kind of related question on oil. So I know that in Sport+ mode both water pumps will turn on in an effort to keep the engine cool during spirited driving. Does anyone have issues with the cooling working TOO efficiently? For example, if I switch to Sport+ while the oil temp gauge is just past the first notch (which I understand is optimal temp), it only takes a couple of minutes in Sport+ mode for the temp to drop just below the first notch. Does this mean that I am not driving the car hard enough in Sport+ mode to maintain temp?

Also, when the temp drops in this manner, is it best to go easy on the throttle and keep revs lower, similar to when the engine is cold during warm up procedure?

All this stressing over oil and oil temps makes me think I need to switch to an EV, as much as I love the V8. It also sucks getting out paced by entry level EVs during warm up phase lol.
