I have worked on engines all my life, every thing from car engines, diesels, to jet engines and as long as your cooling system works properly you won't hurt the car. With the extra cold weather we get in New England, you need to properly warm your car up. Today was 5 degrees out and I warmed mine for about 5 minutes before driving off. Good luck with your car and put your mind to rest.
