So since we've been having cold weather recently I've taken it upon myself to allow the car to idle for about 3-5 minutes before driving to allow the engine bay/oil to warm up properly before driving
However my housemate came back today from lectures saying his lecturer informed the class that it's worse to leave a car idleing because there is a lack of oil pressure meaning the engine isn't properly protected and it's best to just start the car wait a few seconds then drive off using up to half throttle til the engines warm

Thoughts?
