Im guessing for such a short commute, like myself, you aren't racing or anything. I tend to drive very passively so early in the AM anyway. I dont think that doing this has any long term affects at all. I did a quick google search and couldn't really find anything definitively on this matter. A.) I use synthetic, and B.) I usually do, at least a 5 minute warmup (longer if its in the 20's and below)

I had my Maxima since 02 and just got rid of it a few months ago, and never had one issue with the engine, and followed the same way of thinking as far as cold weather goes. I wouldn't worry. Some people at work, get in their car, start it up, and throw it in drive immediately.. Im guessing they will have issues lol.
