The primary reason excessive wear occurs after start-up is because people jump in their car and gun it out of the lot/driveway - how many times do you see this every day?
There is a moron at my office that floors it out of the lot every day just so everyone can hear him, I hope his pos Mustang GT blows up honestly
Modern synthetics are so good I think the start-up wear fear mongering is overblown, there is essentially no stress on the motor idling in the driveway, it's the heavy foot when the oil is cold that's the problem
