What type of engine? Idling an ICE should produce more excess heat than anyone desires. Unless the engine goes into start/stop which I’m not sure counts as idling and I doubt it does so if started in the cold, at least mine doesn’t. This can also be overridden with power drive mode or disabling start stop.
- dzhiurgis 5y agoWhen my thermostat was stuck open it would take me 30 mins of driving to get actual heat. After I fixed it still takes ages for most (small) cars to warm up at idle. It's only when you start driving excess heat is produced. Same with a boat oil changes - you either sit there for half an hour and maybe oil loosens up or you go for 15 minute spin around and it's ready for sucky sucky time.
