Ok, we've changed the url https://www.fleetmanagementweekly.com/yes-warming-up-your-car-before-driving-in-cold-weather-can-damage-the-engine/ https://www.fleetmanagementweekly.com/yes-warming-up-your-ca... to the thing it points to, which is longer if not better. Edit: ok, that one (https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/weather-verify/warming-up-your-car-in-cold-weather-winter-can-cause-engine-damage-fact-check/536-8bf406d7-194c-4ca0-a06d-d1d56006e5d9 https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/weather-verif...) didn't work.

  Following the chain of links, I think this article is the original source: https://www.businessinsider.com/heres-what-idling-your-car-in-the-morning-is-doing-to-your-engine-and-its-not-good-2016-1 https://www.businessinsider.com/heres-what-idling-your-car-i... It's a much more detailed article, including some specific claims about the science.

    Yes, this one is open and with more details that make some sense. Idling for 5-15 minutes is too long anyway, unless you have a 80’s car.

  This, from 2016, seems to be the original post and seems to be fairly well written, if surprising and controversial https://www.businessinsider.com/heres-what-idling-your-car-in-the-morning-is-doing-to-your-engine-and-its-not-good-2016-1 https://www.businessinsider.com/heres-what-idling-your-car-i...

  Nope, not actually better — keep clicking, and see my other comment. If you actually follow the links, you find the opposite opinion! Go Internet!
