It is a concept every modern car has. The water is used to heat-up the oil via a heat exchanger. Since an EWP by itself does not bring the necessarily benefits, in combination with an oil heat exchanger this is. Such units can be bought.

Oil in our TR takes easily (modern temperatures) upto 20 minutes (20km) to reach a temperature that is somewhere in an operating range. Highway cruising actually loweres this very fast, and fast road driving raises it very fast. If I would consider a modern upgrade such as an EWP I would consider the next step.

You wouldn't need an EWP to achieve this - merely an oil cooler that is plumbed into the cooling system. This way the warm water heats the cold oil and cools it when hot.

I think the VW Corrado had on of these and looked at trying it on the TR (as I recall it used the same oil filters as the spin on kits for the 6 but it turned out not to be easily adapted fot he TR)
