Just got my 4.6iS at last, I have this query, I drove for over an hour back from purchasing the car, and the oil temperature gauge sits below half way, which is OK but the RED light and last half YELLOW light never went out?

Is this a fault, and what would fix it

The red light and last yellow light stay on permanently, this is the equivalent of the red bit on a normal rev counter. It is just to advise you not to rev the engine that high.
