Does the camaro have an oil temp gauge?

I know in my Z the coolant temp will get up to operating temps and the oil is still sitting at 100-110*.

I just wait till the oil temp is at least 160* before I'll start going above 4K.

It does. I'll drive the car normally once the coolant temp gets up there, since the motor is what drives the coolant temp up. I still won't beat on the car until the oil is pretty close to 200*. I figure the oil is probably the last thing to get that warm, so it's a better indicator for when your parts are ready for action.

Turns out I actually have 3 broken springs. There was contact between my valves and pistons but it was hardly anything to worry about. Extremely happy about that.
