Let it run until the thermostat opens. 194F and half way up on the oil temp gauge. Check oil for gas.......you can see it on the dip stick and/or smell it. Change oil and filter if there is gas in the oil.

If not, the running will have burnt the oil in the exhaust out by then.

Oil level should be below the 1/2 mark on the dip stick. Any more and you will suck more oil into the intake on sport turns and steep driveways....trust me.....
