How long do you wait for the car to warm up
This may seem like a stupid question but how long do you wait for your car to warm up in the morning (summer time). Do you have to wait at all or is there a set time to wait for the oil to warm up and lubricate?

I generally don't wait in the warm months...I assume you should wait at least til the temp gauge starts to climb

Search around, there are already threads on this. Basically you only have to wait a few seconds, not like older cars.

I just start it and go. Living in Texas there's no need to wait and my temp gauge hits normal operating temperature in less than a minute in the warmer months here.

I wait about a minute or two when it's warm... winter time I'd wait a little longer.
