Should I warm my car every morning?
I have Yaris Sedan 2006,I wake up late everyday so I turn on my car then I go directly to work without warming up my engine, is that will harm my car engine?

Way too late...well it is Xmas...better late than never?
But the correct answer... depends entirely on the oil (lubricants) you use in your engine & transmition and also your climate.
Single grade oils are thickest when cold = low viscosity until they warm-up and become thinner = higher viscosity...thus the oil needs to warm-up before they can flowfast & lube the moving parts correctly.
(compare lard which is hard when cold to cooking oil which remailns liquid even when cold)
vs
Multi-grade oils that maintain their viscosity at the temperatue range the are rated at...
e.g. 5W-50W....one of the wider ranged oils will have the viscosity of 5W when very cold & 50W when very hot.
Hpe ths hlps.

PS Very cold (-0C) climates require engine sump heaters to warm the engines oil before starting.
