Here is a question for ya:

Some people suggest to wait for the car to warm up during cold days to avoid running at higher than idel RPMs when the oil is still cold.

Others suggest that you should start right away, because if the goal is to get the oil warmed up, you should warm it up as quickly as possible. (Of course you don't floor it, but you start driving right away).

I tend to go with the first approach, what do you guys think?
