5 minutes is a bit excessive. I only ran mine for 2 - unless I was just coming off a 12 hour drive on my way to Vegas.
And my favorite thing is to just put the TurboTimer out in the open so anyone can see it. Mine is hidden. A thief wouldn't know why the car was still running and wouldn't know to keep the parking brake up a notch to keep the thing from shutting down.
IJ is correct... these are only necessary occasionally - and technically putting a timer to keep the oil pump running would be just as good as keeping the engine running. I'd actually love to have a pre-oiler on my car to start circulating oil before I started the engine.
