i usually wait for oil temps to be at least 160F so it is at operating temps before i start pounding on it
check your oil though and see what the operating temps are and just wait till you're past that temp

afaik M1 0w40 operating temp is 160F, is it bad to pound on a car with oil that just got up to temp?
