Let me answer as an engine professional with no clue at all what you vehicle/engine is:
* There is nothing good that happens when an engine is idling.
* The statement about cooling a turbocharger might be correct if it does not have a water cooled bearing section.
* Changing out lube oil is required by the service the engine has seen. If you don't want to get a lube oil analysis (~25$us), change it at the recommended intervals.
***Some of this might have minor revisions if the vehicle is described in great detail, but I doubt it.

So are you saying at 14 below zero just jump in and take off driving highway speeds is OK? I'm no engine professional but common sense tells me it isn't a good idea.
