Default Random question about turning on the car

I know it's kind of a dumb question, but I really don't know the answer to it..

If you like.. turn on your car for about 2 or 3 seconds, then turn it off again.. does that like.. hurt the engine in any way because the oil has not had time to circulate? I was just programming a third key for my car (turns out all I needed to do was turn it to ignition, not turn on the car).. but anyway regardless, I turned on the car on and off like that twice..

Does that hurt your car bottom line? My motor has 4,000 miles on it.

It shouldn't hurt the car any more than any other cold start. I wouldn't worry about it.
