F,

Drive it gently for the first minute or so since the air pump doesn't engage until the car is moving. This means the car is emitting more pollutants than necessary.

If your house is 50 feet from the entrance ramp to a freeway then you'd probably want to let it idle for a bit before full throttle.

Also, follow the factory recommendation for the average temperature range in your area. IIRC it is 5 W 30.

Full synthetic is best.

Enjoy,
Bryan
