Letting the oil circulate before putting load on the engine. Only needs an extra 10-15 seconds, or the time it takes me to scrape during the winter months. No time needed if it was recently running.

Is your engine >30 years old?
-
No. What modern marvel keeps oil from pooling in the lowest level after hours of disuse?
-
Oil pumps? Seriously though 10-15 seconds doesn't sound excessive at all. I would be surprised if anyone is actually in gear and putting serious load on their engine/trans in under 10 seconds.

15 sec is plenty. After 15 sec all of your engine's oil has traveled through the pump and through the whole system 1 - 1.5 times.

For some, it only circulates when the car is in motion, which is why idling causes extra wear on cars.
-
For some drive line components, yes, but not for engine oil.

No. If your oil is circulating your engine is fucked.
