Only run it if you're going to drive it far enough to get the engine fully
warmed up.  Otherwise you're better off just letting it sit.  Starting it
and letting it idle for a few minutes, then shutting it off will cause
condensation and excess gasoline to get in the oil, but won't generate
enough heat to cook it off.
