I have 250 gallons of oil in our system including tank, and two oil chambers on the mill plus oil in lines, pumps motors. The oil we use is actually a tractor automatic transmission oil. Not sure of exactly what it is, but its dang near clear and it says 52 on the barrels.

Ron is right, nothing warms up oil like running but I have tried both and I have far less troubles with that warm up period. I usually only warm up when the temps are below 30o to 35o
I can change my profile okay. No errors. If you can,t remove all the extra info in other fields and try.

I forgot to say that I get paid for the warm up period. I also make coffee and get the paper during that time. ;)

We have hydrolyc feed on our scragg mill and resaw.  I'll run the conveyors a little before putting in wood.  The biggest problem is with the resaw.  I'll set the speed at about what I think my son can handle.  I feed it and he returns cants, stacks cull boards and barky slabs on the loader forks,  inspects pallet boards and sorts the different sizes as well as stacking some of them.  Well as the oil gets warmed up,  the thing keeps going a little faster but the change is gradual enough that it doesn't detract me from my daydreaming.  Pretty soon I look over and Tom has a mean look on his face and there are chunks of wood going every which way.

They should have put the DanG speed control on his side,  can't expect me to do everything.
