So if the dial goes anything lower than 3500RPM, you're gonna start seeing the end of your warmup dial and the base color of your dial (black in your case) show up by the redline.

Anyway, as your car warms up, the dial will rotate til its at its final position with no warning zone. That's exactly what its supposed to do.
So I need to know at exactly what temperature it is 4k RPM. It should have start and end temperatures for that range of RPM, I wonder at what value it starts.
