Yea I thought what you do is if the engine starts, you just drive, that way your oil heats up faster. And 0W-X synthetic oil has lowest viscosity when cold so it causes less wear.

Does anyone know if you should limit engine load as well as rpm on a cold start? rpm is obvious since revving too high when the oil isn't flowing well will really hurt the bearings.
