This feels a bit shallow. According to this website, another website says that warming your car in cold weather before driving can cause damage due to stripping oil from the piston.
I’m willing to believe it but I’d like to hear some details. Surely the engine is going to warm to the same temperature soon enough?
- vsri 4y agoYeah, this is confusing. Does this mean idling your car is bad for the engine?
- rolph 4y agonot if the oil is warm. if its cold where you are use a block heater so your oil is warm to begin with. then you can idle no problem, and get the cabin up to a human temperature
- dang 4y agoWe've since changed the URL. I don't know if the current article is still shallow but hopefully it is less annoying.
