Sorry I don't mean to hijack OP's thread, but since this is here, I need to ask. I know short trips are bad, but from my understanding, it's because the engine hasn't had time to warm up properly, so basically short trips are cold driving trips. I currently do 5 miles one way too, no freeway, takes a bout 12 minutes. But the engine temp always get to 180 on the gauge when I get there, so I assume my engine is safe?
