What temperatures are you actually getting from this? Is it really labeled "oil temperature"?I put my vote in for the 2.0 for the reason of less stuff to break. My experiences with my 1.5L have not really been bad at all with the engine. In fact mine actually when the oil change comes around is a very tiny bit low on the dipstick. As for getting up to operating temp which I saw mentioned in this thread our civic is actually the quickest compared to our other vehicles to get there. For the oil operating temp I use something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073XKQQQW?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=amazonquery2-20 that I plug into the OBD port and get the temperatures from that. When my wife takes it to work the oil temperature is at 210 or a little less before she gets there and it takes her 10 miles to get there. (In the winter it would take a little longer) When I lived in Connecticut for a short time where we got the car it was still pretty quick to get the oil temp to the operating temp as well even in the winter it reached its temp about 3/4 of the way there. My biggest concern is with the CVT more than the engine though. I just have this feeling is all with the CVT don't really trust it.
