On the RPM we all have the orange lights, do you rev the car pass those lights ,wait till there's one/two orange light left and open her up or look on the oil temp if it's on operating temp and then open her up...

I wait til oil temps are up which usually happens 5 to 10 minutes into the drive at which time I'm either already home or at my destination half the time. :(

keep shifts below lights until engine/tranny/diff is warmed up.
takes a good 10-15 mins especially on those cold mornings
