Get in, start the car & drive off. Don't push it till the oil temperature gauge needle starts to move up before running hard. If you have a water temperature gauge instead of an oil temperature one wait till its at normal operating temperature.

Takes longer for the oil to warm up & oil is the key. I have both gauges in some cars & its a pretty big spread between water & oil coming up to operating temperature. You can have heat in the car with cold oil.
