Obviously I'm not against the warm up, but hte low RPM, high fuel ability of the low end warm up (to me) is counter productive (much like Zar has pointed out) as you're just burning fuel/blowing it into the oil.

I know with our trucks (again maybe different, but application is the same), hearing/seeing them idle is a terrible thing...it's just a way to keep the heat on or the AC col to me.

But to each their own; if it works for you, sweet. I know with me, I warm it up for 30-45 seconds in the morning, drive it normally, and go from there. It's not like track cars get 10 minute warm ups.
