I just take it easy for the 1st couple of miles - don't sit and idle - it just wastes gas

I've noticed that from a cold start, the engine idles a little higher for about 20 seconds, then noticeably drops below 2000rpm (3.2, btw). I usually wait for the drop before going.

Running in S mode after start will warm you up faster

Default I believe the general rule is to not undergo full or aggressive acceleration....

until the temperature guage moves into the normal operating range. The old C5's had an oil temperature guage which was a great help.

take it easy for a few minutes, keep revs under 3.5k RPMs until temps warm up.
