Default When is the allroad considered warmed up?

Is it when the water temperature gauge moves or when the oil temp gauge moves?

It's recommend you stay off the turbos until the oil temp gauge moves off the 'cold' mark..

Unless you are under warranty and "want" new turbos **eg**

Default Follow-up: How long should AR be "warmed down"?

Should it be allowed to idle for 30-60 second to let oil drain from the turbos?

I try to keep it under ~3500 RPMs until the oil temp gauge passes 175.

Default only after hard driving. I tend to drive more cautiously as I

near my home and this tends to naturally cool the engine down.

Default What Milpower said, and/or...

Upon reaching your destination, with the engine still idling open the drivers door. Wait until the door chime stops (I think it is 90 seconds).

How do you "stay off the turbos"? By not accelerating briskly? Thx
