Water or Oil temp before pushing it?

Question for my 986 friends. For those that wait for their coolant temp to reach 160 or more (or whatever the acceptable temp is) before going over 4000rpm: if you had an oil temp indicator would you wait for the oil to reach 160 instead before you pushed the rpms.

The reason I ask is my 981 shows oil temp and it takes from 8 to 10 miles to reach this temp where as the coolant temp reaches much sooner like the 986 does. My theory is the new oil now a days is such high quality that the water temp waiting period is plenty.
