no charge, avoid short hops where it doesn't really get up to temperature, if you don't use it over winter don't run it up for 5 mins from time to time oil needs to get hot enough to burn off the condensation
Totally agree - if starting up in the winter for a few minutes then run it until the fan comes on so that there will be no condensation in the engine or the exhaust. You'll cause no oil emulsification from doing that.
