Do you warm up you car?

[law24]

hey guys,

is it a good thing if you warm up your car before you start driving?
coz i've read a few articles saying that it is a BAD idea.
so i just want to know your opinions, and what you guys suggest :D

thanks a lot

I always do :)

Just start it , let it idle for a min or so max then drive. Just don't push the car or load it until it warms up.

warm up with easy driving is best.

I used to not know better...

Drive away first time eerytime.

I just dont push it at all until oil temp is at 70deg C

Yes. I lock my garage etc which takes 30-60 secs then I start driving. Idling for minutes is not good. Just keep revs under 3000rpm for ~10mins.

About a bazillion threads on this already.

Search plz.

TL:DR 30 seconds warm up is all you need. Don't flog till car is up to temp.

i don't warm mine, because i don't wake up in time, just drive off with ease until reaches engine operating temp and fang it back of eastern creek roads

As Above, warm up mine for half a min, then just cruise it.

Drive mildly until warm IE only rev to 2,500RPM or so then change up. Don't push the throttle hard. Don't let it idle to warm up.
