Yup trans temps, all cvt's are known for this. Although the block heater will assist the engine take the rpms better.
I watch trans temps all the time and simply idling isn't enough to warm them up, it helps but the real only way to warm a trans up is to drive the bugger, hence the torque converter allowing the rpms to go 2500.
Really there's nothing wrong, and it does get better above freezing. I imagine a synthetic cvt fluid down the road will be experimented on this forum.
