If you're going to drive to the store and come back to the heated garage it 
probably won't hurt. If you're going to work 8 hrs then start it in an 
unheated garage, it isn't doing the engine any good. Actually, it probably 
isn't doing your engine a favor any time, warm or cold.

Why are you running 10w30 in your car? 5w30 is recommended and some use 0w30 
in cold weather. They say start up is the time most engine wear occurs and 
getting that 10 weight moving and up to the cams, etc, particularily in cold 
weather, has got to be tough.
