yeah, 3 minutes is what it takes from cold start and idling.

and yes if you start driving right away it will change over quicker. but a lot of people like my self tend to let the engine idle for 20-30 seconds after a cold start to give things a chance to start working, and the oil a chance to circulate before putting load on the engine.
