Warm-Up proceedure?

[Django]

The German ADAC (that's something like AAA in the US) strongly suggests not to warm up the motor in idle. They say, it's a bad idea, as in idle the motor would need much longer to warm up the oil, thus the time of extra wear out would be prolonged.

So I start the engine and take off at gentle rpms for the first miles. Time of cold oil and thus time of high wearing is shorter that way.

Here is an article from the ADAC in German. May be, you could use google translate to get it in English:

Hm, discussing warming up motor oil is a kind of an oil thread, isn't it?
