Only way to start the car in this situation is to manually start it by the button on the dash. It is a failsafe feature. GM doesn't want the car running for 20 minutes unattended with the check engine light on. That amount of time can mean the difference between a cheap repair or a new engine!
As far as gas getting into the oil.... Sounds funny to me, but I'm not there looking at your car. The obvious first step would be for them to data log fuel trims and 02 sensor readings during cold start, but that would actually require them to do their job. Good luck with that.

Thanks for that explanation, makes total sense.
They looked at the car today, no codes no problems. If nothing else I got a free oil change at about 2200 miles..........Just wait for the next big drop in temp and see if it happens again.
