So at -15, my truck is idling for no less than 10 minutes, probably more like 15, before the warm air starts flowing. And if you would look at the temperature gauges, you can be assured that oil/coolant temp continues to climb after 7 minutes of idling.

Judging by the logic employed in the article it is not worth my time to read it.
Agreed, the ones who keep going on about 7 mins this, 7 mins that have never operated a diesel in Alberta winters.

7 mins is a good way to be handed a $15-20k bill.
