My 83 300D manual does not recommend idling to warm up the engine. I guess idling to warm up the engine was already bad 23 years ago. Fourth bulletpoint on the list:
One should drive the vehicle slowly to warm it up. From there keep a minimum rpm until you reach the operating temperature. At least that's what I do. Once it's up to operating temp, nararamdaman ko na mas may hatak na siya.

Some diesel engines have glow plugs especially earlier ones, they can also collect carbon deposits kaya when one buys a used car sometimes it's also good to ask kung dahan-dahan lang parati pagtakbo ng kotse dahil kung ganun halos puro carbon deposits siya so one needs to drive it hard once in a while.

Yup... idling isn't the time when your engine is happiest.
RE: For diesels... pareho lang talaga. Any engine has to get up to operating temperature to operate efficiently, and if you cut down idling time, you cut down cold running time.
Kung sigurista ka sobra, you can even put an engine heater and a pre-lube pump in your car. This ensures that you will spend nearly no time running on cold lube or dry parts.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

Para namang naka-dialysis yung makina mo kung sobrang segurista ka. Yup, diesels idle cold. I can idle my engine for a good 15 minutes without it reaching half its operating temp! Lalo na pag malamig yung panahon. This is also partly due to how diesels are built, matibay talaga and compression is high so they're made to withstand so much abuse.
Well, that's why some diesels in cold climates have block heaters para isasaksak mo sa outlet so it will warm up the block para when you start it, much easier. Nung una ko nakita yung plug (looks like a normal plug) akala ko may naiwan na electrical appliance sa loob ng makina! That's when I found out about it.

if i wait for the temperature to go halfway after starting it would take more than 5 mins, which is not good. my car's manual says to warm the vehicle up for 60 secs before driving. i guess that's good enough then.

Basically ganito lang:
Open door,
Enter Car
Start Engine
Close Door
Lock Door
Check Mirrors
Turn on Radio
Wear Seatbelt
The car is good to go by then... Any longer, you'll be wasting fuel, adding wear on the engine due to lube deprivation etc...
Karamihan kasi satin mas naniniwala sa kwentong barbero ng mga mekaniko kesa sa gumawa ng makina/kotse mismo hehe.
