I am going to replace the battery and do the oil change by myself, so I will warm it up as long as possible and drive it back and forth into my hookup spot hopefully that will warm it up enough
Just pulling backward and forward in your spot isn't going to get the oil up to full operating temp. If that's your goal, get out on the road and drive at least 20 min. (of course check tires & brakes if it's been sitting for 3yrs).
If your goal is just to warm the oil up so it will flow when you go to drain it, 5-10min of idling should do it.
