Letting the oil circulate before putting load on the engine. Only needs an extra 10-15 seconds, or the time it takes me to scrape during the winter months. No time needed if it was recently running.
Is your engine >30 years old?
No. What modern marvel keeps oil from pooling in the lowest level after hours of disuse?
Oil pumps? Seriously though 10-15 seconds doesn't sound excessive at all. I would be surprised if anyone is actually in gear and putting serious load on their engine/trans in under 10 seconds.
15 sec is plenty. After 15 sec all of your engine's oil has traveled through the pump and through the whole system 1 - 1.5 times.
For some, it only circulates when the car is in motion, which is why idling causes extra wear on cars.
For some drive line components, yes, but not for engine oil.
No. If your oil is circulating your engine is fucked.
