Given the car is based in chilly NY rather than sunny LA, it's engine life will be reduced. A 20*F start with cold oil bypasses the filter and it will take a bit for oil pressure to build. And, it will take a bit longer for oil to make it's way to the valve train.

Add in a longer amount of time for warm up ( rich mixtures ) and even longer for the oil to get hot, oil contamination is a real issue.

I remember the Toyota ads that touted vehicles with 200 K miles, it seemed that all were from sunny states and none from salty cold areas.
