Let engine idle for 12 minutes with it already at operating temp?? That doesn't sound right?

The actual owners manual says 1-2 minutes.

Funny how a simple question can unravel some folks. Please don't ask what oil you should use. That may cause the Earth to spin out of orbit and plummet into the Sun.
