I just had a question about driving distance. I only live about 3 miles from work takes usually about 10-12 minutes. Does driving a short distance like this due any damage or is it OK? Thx

Follow the advice above about letting your engine warm up to normal operating temp, and take it for longer distances occasionally. Which you probably do. I live 2 miles from work and drove my '03 Cobra almost daily back in the day. Late March through early December. Mixed it with longer run to shop, cruise, visit friends/family, etc. Changed my oil/filter every 3 months. No issues.
Normal operating temp would be like 190° give or take , you know full operating temperature.

Are you talking oil temp or coolant temp? I'm running a 170 t-stat and haven't seen anything over 180 on 100+ degree days. Unsure what my oil temps would be since I don't monitor those.
How would I know what the temperature is anyways. The gauge is usually half way when I get to work
