Thank you for the advice.

Did you read the article that I linked to? The good Doctor makes it abundantly clear that the problem as he sees it is cold starts. If he is mistaken then I certainly would like to know about it.

You read and you read and you talk to folks and then you make policies regarding what you do and how. That is what I have done.

Hydraulic lifters like oil and they like warm oil. I realize that our German boxers are not V8s and am willing to change my policy if evidence is produced to the contrary of what is the basis for warming my engines.

Give me some data.
