You can do that if you want the Check Engine Light to come on everytime you want to start the car. If you are really concerned about the one start or two starts a day, which appearantly you are, use a synthetic oil. I have yet to see an engine, without 200K+ miles, that has failed due to too much wear that didn't have come kind of oil pump failue, not changing the oil, or such, it just doesn't happen. Change the oil regularly and enjoy your car/truck and take what you read here "grain of salt" It is almost brainwashing in some cases on how worried people are if they went one mile over on an oil change based on unsatifactoty UOA. I've read people that ask if they should drain out company X's oil because of one UOA and is their engine ruined because they've had it in there for 3001 miles. Removing a Fuel Injection fuse with each cold start is along the lines of a brainwashed question. Start the car and drive and take it easy until it warms up a bit, that's it.
