My commute is short like this as well, about 2 miles. By the time I'm getting into my parking spot at work, my car is *just* reaching operating temp, according to the dummy temperature gauge on the dash which means nothing.

Judging by the fact that I've heard it takes roughly 15-20 minutes for fluids to be fully at operating temp, I never fully reach "operating temp" on my commute to or from work.

I have 12k miles on my 2013 FR-S and I've been changing the oil every 6-10 months with Eneos 0w-20 (non Sustina). I use it primarly for commuting, with the occasional extremely spirited sustained high RPM blast through the canyons on the weekends. I should probably do a UOA...
