Do you allow your car to warm up or just fire it up and rock!

No, not really. I do leave the engine idle for 15 seconds or so whenever it's cold before taking off, but just so the oil circulates a little bit (not that it takes 15 seconds, but what the heck).

Then, I take it easy until the engine temp. reaches hafway between the blue square and the normal operating temp. (i.e. middle)
I take it easy until about 3 min after the needle hits center line. I don't have an oil temperature gauge :cry: (yet)
