I’ve heard for turbo cars that you have to let it warm up 30 seconds or so and just stay out of boost until it’s fully warmed up and NA vehicles to just shift or stay below 3k rpm’s until it’s warmed up
i always wait for the cat heat up idle to drop down then i drive gentle till it’s fully heated up. this in my opinion should be the same for everyone regardless if it’s NA or not.
oh for sure, when your engine/driveline is cold is when the most wear is caused. Thats why you want to sit there and let everything warm up as slow as possible
Topic is usually mentioned in your maintenance manual. At least for my evo x, it says to turn on and idle until rpm’s fall, which usually takes somewhere between a minute or two. This gives me enough time to plug in my phone, set up music and GPS so it’s works out. Then try to keep out of boost and rpm’s low (less than 3k) to let things warm up. A lot of people misunderstand the advice of not needing your vehicle to warm up, as hop in and go, but it’s really trying to avoid the people that turn on their car and let it idle for like 10 minutes, typically found in cold climates. Several minutes of warmup is fine but there’s no need for anything past like 3 or 4 max.
Car warms up faster when driving instead of idle just don’t floor it until your oil is up to temp. Depending on what oil you’re using they may get up to temp faster like 0W-30 which flow more in cold weather compared to 5W-30.
my driveway is 90* angle to highway 74 with narrow fence and mud. i cant speed up until i do the 90 left or right and hit the pavement. i have to be ready to accelerate away from people coming down the hill to my rear as i gain speed in the morning to go to work. i warm it up before I go in case I need to punch it, as some people are angry they'd have to let off the gas for a second for courtesy. most people should let it spin in park until the oil pressure goes up, then drive gently until hot. you will notice that upon starting your car cold, it revs higher on its own sometimes. HIGHLY recommend you let it do so whilst still in park. the extra rpm is to boost oil pressure, electrical energy/battery reserve, and increase fuel flow to ensure its primed. in an auto trans, D or R puts resistance and slows it down, especially when the trans fluid is still cold.
Once engine starts, put a seatbelt on, plug your phone, check your hair in a rearview mirror, maybe pick your nose then your car should be good to go. Once you hit the road, rev up moderately then double clutch shifting in first 10 minutes.
I know some people personally that don't let their engines warm up before they take off. They don't know that it's slowly taking at least 20,000 miles out of their vehicle, If not more than that.
All you need is 30-60 seconds of idle to get the oil circulated. After that drive really slow till engine is up to temp. The car will warm up much faster than idling it and once the oil has circulated after 1 min you are good to go. Just give the rest of the oils in your drivetrain warm up and then you good to go.
It depends. My 91 Silvia I'll let it idle till the idle drops and it starts camming out. Usually a minute or two. Then keep it low rpm out of boost until it's fully up. Motorcycle I'll wait till it shows 110F on temp, then go slow until full temp
Boosted and diesel vehicles should always be allowed to warm up, older petrol cars with carbs need to warm up, but efi petrols acn get away without warming them up, however it’s not 100% healthy to run them cold
Watch your rpms! They will start high and then drop down once the internal temp is good. It takes around 30 to 40 seconds in normal weather. Closer 1:30 when it's really cold out.
One thing the warm up debate doesn't cover is older cars. I at least let my 88' Supra warm up for 30 seconds before going anywhere. You can always see where the RPMs are at, just wait a bit for them to settle in.
Once I turn on the car I wait like 5-10 seconds then start driving. I only keep the revs between 1-2 thousand until. My oil temp is up to operating temp.
I do because my car is old and doesn't work properly if I dont. Also nah your oil hits everything it should when you start the car. If temp effected oil that much you'd never be able to start your car in winter.
in my car i just wait for the rpm’s to fall and stay under 3k until the engine is to temp. then it’s demon time 😈 but usually i gotta set up my music and everything so i’m not gonna be moving immediately anyway
I used to live in a "no loud car boohoo" place, right next to a bitter neighbour, not sure if I should refer her as the b word... She was the type that would phone to report me for mowing my backyard lawn a week late(after doing the front lawn). What I did after getting my first aftermarket exhaust (loud enough to be heard) was I would pull outta my driveway, park across the street immediately after starting up my truck, especially in winter times when that fast idle didn't wanna end... Never had a problem once. Now that I moved way from there to a place with no exhaust laws and am living full rural, I can finally make my clapboxes as loud as I want :) Still not obnoxiously loud though
It’s really bad for a car to idle. They were not made to do that and it can cause more harm than good. That being said don’t be an idiot and floor your car while it’s not a normal operating temps
Just wait till the cold start cycle is over and ur good especially if your car is new it’s not meant to just sit with no load it’s honestly worse for the car
If it’s illegal, even more reason to do it in defiance of such stupid laws
Yeah we can't let our cars idle but meanwhile I'm waiting 5 minutes at a timed light just idling with no traffic in sight
On god
I think it’s a law because of global warming

Definitely not 30 seconds you have to wait till your oil is above 180 o start ripping on your turbos.

Damn, if it's illegal to idle. Then I might as well run through the red lights, because they be taking forever 💀

95% of people hit the key and slam it into gear before its even started
A dude in my apt complex would throw his truck in drive before it even finished starting up

Most owners manuals ive read recommend light/slow driving while it warms up after a 15-30second idle
This ☝️
I also read the manual of my car, it didn't say anything about warming up but yeah it says that "DON'T RACE COLD ENGINE"
Yes it says that too on mine, drive slowly for a mile or so, around 1000-2000rpm and not over till warm

I have a ‘23, and I prefer to warm up the engine before driving. Also, makes the cabin warm or cold, depending on weather.
It’s probably illegal in like Minnesota, that state weird as hell
In california, new york, and virginia breathing is illegal

You don't need to let it idle for more than a minute or 2 ESPECIALLY in a modern car. Just don't go crazy until you've driven it for a bit.
Why do modern cars defy the laws of physics? I do believe 5 mins or so then driven gently is probably not a bad idea when it’s cold out.
Turn on car wait 20 or 30 seconds then drive at low RPM until engine is warmed up...
It's 2022

You need to let me warm up for that mustache dont just show me something like that right away jesus
Sorry 🥺

The only engines I have had fail were the ones I warmed up. Ever since I stopped doing it, no more failures...

I warm mine up by revving the motor to redline for a good three to five minutes until quiet.
That's why your car has a redline. It's the oem telling you where you should keep your rpm's for the engine to warm up the fastest
@@michaelroditis7300 This man gets it.
I'm not sure if that's how you're suppose to do it 😅

If u have a cvt you need to warm it up or else the cvt will die. If I don't warm my Nissan up , it starts sputtering

If.you live in Minnesota y9u can warm up your car specially in the winter amd you have leather seats
10-30 secs to let oil flow. Wait til it’s warm to enter boost.
Dude if you have a jdm shitbucket, pre 2000 car or built motor. Fbo etc. Let that shit warm up
I'm pretty sure toyota put transmision warmers in their cars to help with the drive train wear and tear.
Threw me off for a second with the evo seats in the is300
I know nothing about cars thank u bro ily
in my car i just wait for the rpm’s to fall and stay under 3k until the engine is to temp. then it’s demon time 😈 but usually i gotta set up my music and everything so i’m not gonna be moving immediately anyway
I just wait for the rpms to settle
Depending on how cold it is, if it's cold I'll wait a little longer, but on hot days I just wait for rpms
And don't forget about tolerances.

I warm up my rotary swapped subaru before driving it
Just wait till the cold start cycle is over and ur good especially if your car is new it’s not meant to just sit with no load it’s honestly worse for the car
I do this every day
Some of these comments is hilarious 🤦♂️😂😂
what kind of stupid ass law is that to ban something like turning on your car? your car idles in traffic, are you going to ban being in traffic too?
🤣
I honestly only listen to people that have handle bar mustaches
Wowww
Yes, old or new, low or high miles. and I can prove it scientifically with less than 3 sentences
Think of you car as you think of your partner in bed. If you still wonder if you should warm up your car before driving it, use your imagination.
I always warmup my pickup. 75k miles and drives like brand new.
what's the song?
so do u gotta turn off ur car in those states when ur waiting for the long train to pass 😂
🤣
aint no wat a grown ass man finds that car cool
