Idling a motor for that long is actually bad for the motor . It can cause what’s called “bore glazing “
Like a lot of people had said warm up is completely unnecessary. Start up let the oil pressure build up and make is way through the turbo ,build up the air and get going . Load is good for the motor . Slow steady driving till it get to operating temperature and that’s it
