Water or Oil temp before pushing it?

What was interesting was my 981 showed that just waiting for the water temp wasn't enough and now I'm wondering if I should wait longer on my 986.

We are saying oil temp but don't have the ability to do that so I'm guessing folks just wait 10 mins instead of using water temp as the factor.

I think that most 986 drivers just use water temp and hope for the best. Why? Ease of use.
