-35c here, lol I'm not letting my engine warm up, I'm letting the inside warm up. Ever sit on a -30 seat,,,, like a rock 😂

Do that in a diesel for a few years and tell me what’s your repair bill gonna be.

Don’t go over 4k rpm and you’ll be fine if your NA but turbo car I let the pressure normalize to -10 before I get going still don’t push over 4k till at temp tho

Do I have to let my car warm up? I have a Tesla Model Y 2024 version.

What if my windows are iced over? I still let my car warm up to defrost with windshield and because I’m a curmudgeon.

realistically 10 seconds is enough to get lubrication going unless it's much below freezing. just go easy on the gas. besides, the engine warms up quicker with some load on it.

The other reason to let it warm up is you have different metals that comprises your engine and they all heat up at different speeds so if you want your aluminum heads to heat up at the same time as your cast block you give it a couple minutes. The best is to read that useless book that comes with the car.

I drive a stick. Everything likes to be warmed up a little before we go, not just the engine.

You need to let it warm up enough to get the ice window at least clear.

As someone driving a 2L Suzuki SX4, it will not warm up at idle, need a load on the engine to make any heat. Driving lightly at 1.8K-2.6k RPM until warm, takes just over a minute at 20F outside.

This guy is an idiot 😂😂 Dont floor youre car when its still cold or if the oil didnt lube everything, specially on turbo engines....ans moré specially if its tuned.

At least letting it warm up enough to clear your windows so you can see the animals before you hit them. Being hunched over to see out that bottom inch of cleared windshield is incredibly dangerous. Especially if your car has airbags. Just take the minute or two depending on location and conditions. So you don’t run over the neighbour’s cat or something. Trying to go too soon.

This is terrible advice, it’s great to let your car warm up! Especially the older it is

litterly not about oil at all. you’re just waiting for the engine pistons to warm up and expand (because hot stuff expands). thats why if you wait to warm up your car you will hear it change sounds from cold to hot. this is the metal in the pistons expanding to fit the cylinder hole. not about oil at all, never has ,never will be.

I let all my cars warm up

I might drive it cold but I won't high rev until it's warmed up

Im not getting my butt into a cold car. lol. remote start for the win.

Heater in the oil pan, get that oil warm before turning over, even better independent electric oil pump, get that warm over everything before start up, Perhaps a tad over reacting tho

The trick is to warm it up by driving slowly. Don’t let it idle and don’t full throttle it.

Some cars, like porsche, it's actually not a good idea to let the car slowly warm up. The slow warmth build up allows water condensation to build up in the engine. This will not happen if you turn the car on and after just a couple of seconds, start driving.

Where I live in not allowed to let a car warm up or idle for more than a few seconds

I strongly disagree and believe it has nothing to do with oil. It’s all about your engine having a set amount of cycles ( fully warming up and then cooling all the way off). Just taking off heats your engine block and components really fast while under stress and load. This will shorten your engine life not by a ton but let’s say your engine blows up at 200,000 and punches a hole through the block. But if you always let it warm up it would have went to 250,000. That’s how I see it at least metal expands when heated so your oil pressure will also be off causing extra unnecessary wear.

People for the love of god DO NOT listen to this guy. Warm up your car. Synthetic is litteraly a thinner oil. Why in the hell wouldnt you want to bring you engine to temp before putting stress on it. Gaskets are all shrunk from the cold as well. So why would you add pressure to that....

I give my Veloster N about 10-15 seconds to get the oil around, then I drive it incredibly gingerly until at least 150°F oil temp, and once I get to about 190°F oil temp I will romp on the car to make sure it gets to the 200°F-205°F point to evaporate things like fuel and water out of the oil. 94k miles and it’s still running perfectly, zero oil issues, and almost no catch can contents per oil change (4k miles).

Letting the inside warmup, which is illegal in any modern country with laws

One might argue that it's more important to warm up a new car considering a lot of them have hydraulic timming components

Yes just hop into your diesel turbo truck fire it up and roll out. Don’t worry about blowing a head gasket or bending a valve or any other gasket of any sorts. Your car burning white smoke? Probably not a major concern none what so ever.

300k miles I’m letting my engine warm up

I find it interesting that the majority of people telling us, “it’s fine, you don’t need to warmup the engine”, are mechanic shops… you know, the ones who benefit the MOST from vehicles breaking down. 🙄 Let’s refine that a little more! Mechanics, like doctors, do not make any money when everything is working fine. Doctors need sick people like mechanics need broken down cars & trucks.

I got wear on my cams from a winter where I didn’t let my car warm up and I’d hop on the highway and go 80. Misinformation I’m hearing

Easiest way to warm up an engine is to drive the car from cold

I no folks there that don't let their trucks or suv's warm up,and these vehicles today run a bit hoter,and they warm farely fast !! But what i have noticed is the ones that don't have a little problem with manifold bolts breaking !!! I would have to say that they don't use a very strong bolts for the manifolds,must be because they are in thesr aluminum blocks,so i think if you let your car or truck warm up,you won't have a ticky motor because the manifold blots are broke !!! So my F-250 2012 has never been in the shop,nock on wood,has never been in the shop!!! Because every morning or when ever i start it,it takes 15 min exactly for her to warm up and then she is ready to go to work for me !! JUST SAY'N!!!😊😅❤😊

I have an NV350 with the notorious QR25DE engine with 2 thermostats, ( 1 on the head & 1 on the block) so my routine is to start my van and let it idle for 5-10 minutes until my engine is warm and the high idle goes below 1000 rpm.

A Corolla GR is a duplicate of a Yaris GR if you want to play it safe… not the same, just a copy of its original.

I personally experienced tip#1. Unbeknownst to me, I bought a 2016 Subaru WRX new, and the dealership put summer only tires on it. Lemme tell you that it's no fun sliding thru a red light in the snow

This guy's wrong for many reasons, there's stuff besides oil happening when the temp changes

Do a how to modify an sn95. There’s not one on yt. Everyone’s modding them all different ways left & right & a lot of guys are headed toward the bagged & boosted/stanced jdm w 3p wheel look

I will always warm my car up. Even "thin" oils get thick in freezing temps. I don't let it run for 10+ minutes, but a 3-5 minute idle on a 0 degree day? You bet.

More important for a diesel to warm up before moderate or heavy use.

idling will kill most engines, dont do this!!!

your engine needs about 15 seconds to get oil to your camhshafts. after that just keep it under 3k RPM

Rather let my block get all the expansion done before I'm hounding on it, instead of it expanding a rod out my car😂

They fixed that LP thing in Japan. Said it's even hard for a police officer to look up a LP without permission. Just old timers not caught up on current.

The haters Hour join us we would love to hate you too

You never answered your question. Is it better for your engine to warm up before driving away?

At -35° I'm definitely letting it warm up for a bit before I drove anywhere

Talking wheels maybe buying replicas is about loving the style and not being able to afford or not wanting to pay outrageous prices for originals is that so terrible. Stop making people feel bad about their decisions stop judging .

Letting your engine sit for 2-5mins before driving is NOT a bad idea
