There is a note in the AFM to ensure the oil temperature is above some value (it varies a bit with engine type) before setting takeoff thrust. That ensures that there is sufficient heat in the FOHX to prevent fuel icing.
Ah, I've heard some interesting takes on that particular note (both on the 744 and 777), but that's the real reason it's there ......thanks for the explanation.
