Some of you are cracking me up lol If you are running the OEM oil weight then crank the car over give it time to idle down and then put it in gear and go. let the car warm up to normal opperating temp before you romp on it. Normal opperating temp at legal speed limit driving takes about 5/8 minutes to get to!
Just sitting there at idle for long periods of time does nothing but build condensation and etc in your mufflers. 5W30 circulates through your motor in the matter of maybe half a minute due to it being a 5 weight motor oil.
a car warms up faster while driving it rather than just sitting there idling.
If it makes you feel better give it maybe 2 minutes after winter storage to idle then go. The zddp/zinc protects the engine parts at start up no matter if it sits one day or 8 months. Once it cranks over the oil starts to fluctuate.
I run 15w50 and mine takes about 22 seconds to idle down after my seatbelt is on and everything else I need to do is done I go and just take it easy until the guage says its fully warmed up.
