I remember a similar tread when I first got my box a couple years back. I was letting it warm up until the temp needle began to start rising. There was, in that discussion, the fear that that kind of idle time allowed more moisture and gas into the oil and that was certainly not a good thing. Now of course if you drive 30+ mins at temp those extra ingredients should burn off.

Next time I start i'll time how long it takes for warm air to start blowing
All JFP's explanations about mechanical readiness is what initially prompted me warm up longer.
Might be coming full circle on this subject
