The starting time; maybe how many miles your car has determines how long you shoud wait before driving of in the morning or the first time you start your car in a day? my 1993 LS400 has 146,000. I wait about 10 min. in cold weather when it is about 30C to 60C, went with what people had told me!

Well if it was a P&W R2800 you might wait ten minutes, but with 5W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic in the Lexus engine, I wait about 10 seconds. Up north here it gets fairly cold for sure, but when all the warning lights go out, I move the car. Idling you get 0 miles per gallon too.

30C to 60C is hardly cold weather lol, 30C is 62 degrees F ;)

No reason to wait 10 minutes...
