Default What is your cold oil and coolant temp ?

I have a 2015 eco diesel. I’ve been looking at my fluid templatures lately being the wintertime and noticed when my truck is off and it’s like -10 degrees C outside my oil and coolant show 40 degrees C, every morning both the same. Everything else show normal below zero temps.
I thought my sensors were out but when I drive it they do increment and do so independently.
A guy at work who was having block heater troubles has he same truck and his oil and coolant show below zero. His is a 2018 model.
He said something must be wrong with my sensors.
I took it in and they confirmed with trucks on the lot they all say 40 degrees C when off.
What are yours?

Probably 40 is the minimum it will show, like it's the bottom of the temperature scale used.

Can someone check before the next time they start their car and confirm what your temperatures are to be sure?
