As the engine heats up the oil thins out and creates more pressure thus waiting until 3 bars(ap1) and more on the ap2.

that is the exact opposite of what oil actually does when it warms up.Your oil pressure is much higher when cold.

Sounds like your car is broken. Should be able to VTEC any time, any place any condition, right out of the cold.

3-4 bars, what's the difference. Why take a chance. Let It Warm Up 1st!

x2. Oil pressure is always highest on a cold engine.
