I don't like the idea of a remote starter.
I read the book, DRIVE IT FOREVER by Robert Sikorsky. and here is what he has to say:
"Once you have started a cold engine and the oil pressure gauge or light indicates normal,
place the car gently in gear and get moving. No more than fifteen seconds of engine idling
should be required. Do not try to warm the engine by prolonged idling. Years ago this was
the accepted practice, but with today's engines and increased knowledge of the mechanics
of engine wear and fuel economy, most engineers are in agreement that prolonged idling
of a cold engine will only do harm. A cold idling engine won't warm as fast, lubricate as
efficiently, or burn gasoline as completely as one that is under load. Get that car moving
as fast as possible because this hastens the warm-up, and permits the oil to circulate
better, lubricating vital points at the exact time when they need they most need it. Use
slow to moderate speeds the first few miles and don't race or gun the engine."
