Some years past, a friend who worked for Mazda explained to me that the engines need to be driven for a bit because until they're warmed up fully there can be a lot of carbon buildup and it needs to be run some amount of time to get the carbon through. Once they're warmed up and running for a bit they're fine. Supposedly it's the short trips of only a few miles that can kill them over time.
Not sure if that's correct.
