Maybe it will make a difference, maybe not, we'll see.
One thing I've started doing as a precaution is to not push it too hard until the engine is fully warmed up. This is not easy for a short commuter like myself.

Agreed, I will push for 0w 30 as well. It will be warmer when I get the oil changed here in the New England, so "30" should hold up better. I always wait for at least operating water temp to push car too hard, preferably oil temp, but it can be difficult.
