My 8 is up to temp after about the same 4 - 5 miles since i changed the therostat. Can be done with the front end inplace too, but is a bit of a knuckle stuffer. Rear calipers are common. Slowstart could just be your battery coming to the end of it's life, put a battery booster or jusp leads on it see if it makes a difference.
