Was flipping through the the manual before I erased a CEL code with my new Actron reader and I noticed under 'starting the car' that it was not recomended to warm up the car before putting it in gear. Instead it said you should just start it up put it in gear and keep the revs under 4500K for five minutes.

Does anyone who actualy does this find this strange? I thought the engine temp should be allowed to come up so as to avoid engine wear?
