I can get a time out after the engine ran, then i have to wait for it to drain and settle to the sump, That wait can be much longer then 5 minutes.

My experience has been that it's based on whether the car is fully up to temp. If the car is not quite up to temp, then it will have you wait longer. If it is completely warm, then I have to wait a minimum of 5 mins.
