It is the type of oil you use and the weight that makes the difference. You should be using synthetic and 5 or 10W30. If you are, then start the car and wait for just 15 seconds. Do not 'floor' the pedal until you the blower starts trying to give you heat, usually less than 1 mile.

If you are using heavy oil, flush it out. Anything heavier than 10W30 is not good for your engine.

You should have butt warmers; so start the car, turn on the butt warmer, put it in gear and go.
