However the logic still continues that lots of freeway miles are much better than many short trips. Reason is systems haven't stabilized at "Normal" temps to cook off the contaminates that have condensed into oils, trans included, forming corrosive contaminates in the engine etc. 5 minute trips hardly recharge the battery from the start! Many opinions, mine included, but I try to drive no less than 20 min after normal temp achieved. SO get out there and paste a grin on your face a little longer! Oh the horrors! LOL.
According to the manual you aren't supposed to warm up ur car idle. It says to drive the car immediately after start and don't go over like 4.5k rpm for first 5 minutes.
