It probably isn't necessary to wait for the oil temps to rise for normal street driving. The Ester oil, or any good synthetic 5W-30 flows well at fairly low temps. 5W refers to winter viscosity for a multi-viscosity oil. According to ehow.com, 5 weight oil will pour properly at -40 deg. F. That means you will get good enough lubrication for road use in most places. The 30 refers to viscosity at 212 deg F (100 deg C).
