Another idea
One other idea might be worth a check, could the engine not be getting up to the correct 89/90c coolant temp quickly due to a sticky or failing thermostat ?,, had some recent experience of a C30 petrol that was consuming a lot of oil on short runs, esp with lower temps in winter, the dash temp gauge isnt really linear, and say at 80c shows vertical, same thing at 90c so best way is to use a cheap obd reader and something like the torque app to see whats really going on with coolant temp, the 1.8 and 2L petrols are mazda based engines.
