How long to warm up on cold days?

Hey now that the cold mornings are creeping in, in the Northeast I wanted to get an idea of if you guys warm up your trucks and if so, for so for how long? my previous car was a 2004 MDX w 190,000. she needed a 5 warmup on cold mornings.
just wanted your thoughts.

 

Probably not a bad idea to get oil pumping first

 

I believe the Owners Manual suggest only a few seconds of warm up and then to just drive slowly. In the middle of winter my truck idles while I scrape the windows and brush the snow off and it's good to go.

 

It's always better to error on the side of caution. 5 minutes is better than nothing at all.

 

I've always warmed vehicles up for a minute or two on freezing mornings. I think you're probably doing the truck a favor and it takes a minute to get the radio, heat and my shit together, so there's no inconvenience in the practice.

My 2015 50K Camry makes a racket on super cold mornings for a half minute or so. Pretty obvious it wants me to give it a minute to get it's act together..

 

Lazy and its really cold? 10 minutes. Remote starter!

Most days 1-2 is all it needs, makes sure the fluids thinned out a bit so you aren't blowing seals.

 

I think it's good to let it sit for around 45-60 seconds to get the oil flowing. After that I start moving slow and steady until the truck reaches operating temperature. If possible I avoid highway speeds until it reaches operating temperature. You can sit longer BUT you aren't warming up the transmission if you aren't moving. That is something that is often overlooked which it also needs it's good warm up. That is why I, along with many others say to take it slow and steady on a cold startup until you reach operating temperatures.

 

Min or so. It's cold and I just got a car starter so it'll probably be started for at least 5 min until I get to it

 

Couple minutes to warm up. I live in Minnesota and use a block heater as well.

 

Redline all the time!

 

A minute or two should be enough, and don't rag on it until temp is above cold.

 

No more than a minute and even that is not needed.
While I was testing General Motors, during specific durability test, we would bring an engine and all fluids down to -40c. After a 3 hour soak at that temp, we would immediately apply 75% load and full throttle until max engine temp was reached. This was done over and over, dozens of times to the engine during testing.

 

Start. Give a Hail Mary. Go

 

Ten seconds is good.

 

I start the truck, drop the lead foot on the go pedal and side slip the clutch. My neighbors keep complaining but I don't speed, I just accelerate briskly. Nothing illegal with that so they can quit complaining about doing burnouts on their lawns!

 

5 seconds then drive it

 

No need for any "warm up" that is what the 0 is for in 0w oil. Manual says to simply start and go. Obviously if you have to scrape snow or ice off or (more importantly) have to wait a minute or two for the defroster to get going you have to wait a bit. If the truck is garaged at night just go...

 

30 seconds, always heard that letting a cold engine idle for long periods of time washes the oil off the cylinder walls.

 

For me, I idle for at least thirty seconds to allow for the oil to flow through engine. After that I just drive normally.

 

This, just let it idle down, and drive gently til warm.
It's funny how our, and many many other company and fleet vehicles last hundreds of thousands of miles, being treated like complete shit. I treat my company truck well, but the other guys mostly don't, and aside from wrecks, no issues.
