Question Newbie Advice... 55 WRX with PPP

Hi all,
I have just purchsed a new 55 WRX turbo with PPP and some other nice mods, as such I have a few questions so rather than put up multiple posts i thought i would try and put them all in this one.

Oil Temperature
THe car has oil temp, pressure and turbi gauges, but i wanted to know what the concensus is regarding the ideal oil temp before having some fun with the car.
I have been told to get it to 60+ before pushing the car, is this correct, as last thing I want to do is cause any damage to the car.

Oil
The car that I have bought will require a service in a little while and I am wondering if it needs any specific oil for this engine. The car has covered circa 54k.

Thats all for now, but sure there will be lots more questions to follows

Thanks for your help.

I always wait till the oil temp is above 80, but thats just out of habit, for oil I use millers 10w50.
