Modern cars are designed to warm up verry rapidly with water/oil heat exchanger/ underplate under the engine/ heat insulation in the engine covers etc...
Modern engines are basicly running in a box with only the radiator being outside the box.
However i am currently working on a Honda k24 2.4 engine which will produce around 320hp. However it is still used for daily driving and in the Netherlands the winters will be around 30F. Combined with that his daily route is only 16 miles to his work and 17 miles back i would like to improve the heat up a little bit.
We will be instaling and underplate under the engine because originaly the car doesnt have one.
My suggestion is to wrap the screw on oilfilter in heat isolation material because as you can see on engineering explaind video the oil filter is one of the hottest parts and its only a milimeter thick steel that seperates the hot oil from beeing cooled by the outside air.
This will be only fitted in the winters and will be removed during the summer. I dont think the oil will now run too hot because i rarely hear stories that on a modern car engine/oil cooling is a problem and this car does have on oil to water heat exchanger.
Also the hoses going the to in car heater warm up fast and lose heat. Might also wrap those.
