Will a 10 mile commute kill a diesel?
Looking at a 2014 Ram 2500 diesel but will my 10 mile round trip daily commute damage the engine? Should I just get the Hemi?

Bet the oil was still cool enough you could put your hand in it.
About 145 degrees I seem to recall....not my hand. ;) Tranny was just over 100....
Not enough. Idealy, the oil temp should be about the same as the coolant temp and at least 180 for some time to effectively get rid of moisture.
I take mine on a freeway run for at least 30 min before changing the oil.
