I defiantly warm mine for at least 15 to 20 minutes being I have a oil cooler and oil pressure gauge. The gauge has let me see some high pressure up to 130psi when the oil is cold or even at 150 degrees when going down the road at 2.5K RPM's. But as soon as temps hit near 180 degrees it doesn't go past 90-95psi.

So that being said and having a oil cooler I feel it's best to let it warm for who knows how much an aftermarket oil cooler fittings can take over time at those pressures. If it was just the motor I wouldn't think much of it.
