Remote Start is harder on the engine as you're idling it. The best thing you can do to help the engine in that case is to get it to temperature faster so the oil is providing the proper lubrication to the engine. Which is the exact thing the grills are designed to do...

Instead, you've extended the time it takes to get up to temp... So it idles longer with cooler oil providing inadequate engine lubrication...
