It is my understanding that the actual coolant temperature is a fair bit higher than the indicated temperature- so there is no concern about the temperature being too low to burn off any moisture in the oil.

This is the same behavior I'm experiencing with the low temp thermo. You see a more detailed temp readout looking through the ECU.
