After reading this thread, I'll leave a couple minutes early in winter and let it warm up.

People either forget, or are not old enough to remember the US automakers first alloy engine cars; Vegas that never needed an oil change because they burned it too quickly, late 1980's GM V8's that consumed coolant by the gallons if you didn't add a bunch of cinnamon based tablets (yes, you read that correctly) to seal up the head gaskets where they leaked because of dimensional shifting when the car was warming up, Mopars with more coolant in the oil sump than oil, etc.

None of this is anything new.
