Engine Warm-Up Myths || EXPLAINED

[@Asky_]

Finally someone said it. The engine/oil warms faster if you drive slowly than if you let it idle thus, minimizing the wear

[@233kosta]

It also warms up evenly, unlike when you sit idling.

[@whlawson5812]

Better if you drive out at max of 2000rpm until coolant is above 75 degree C or above 165 degree F. My engine oil pressure gauge vs engine rpm vs coolant temperature showed me that it would be a few miles during a cold. My case at 740rpm & 143 degree F engine oil pressure is at 2.3barg. At 195 degree F it is 1.5barg. At 200 degree F it is 1.1barg. Oil is 5W40.

If using the right oil that is recommended by the manufacture, waiting 1-3 minutes is good, depends on the temperature outside, so the metal gets warm and the oil goes around and gets warm to be able to get through the filter without going throw the by pass valve at higher RPM, and do not load the engine much until it gets up to operating temperature.

If it's warm or hot out, I give it like 10 seconds max just to cycle the oil once or twice. If it's cold out, I normally give it like 45 seconds or so if I'm in a rush.

[@AfonsoBucco]

People who says "today you don't have to warm up" don't know about: PISTON DILATATION Modern cars do warm in a shorter period? yes. Oil flow is now better than before? yes. Oils are better? yes. But when it is cold engines still have problem with piston/cylinder wear. Now-days engines have stronger oil pumps than pre-eighties ones, and use more oil, and more flow, and oils are now far one number from another like 5w40, or 0w30. But at the first minute, piston is still on wrong shape which becomes correct when warmed up. So do not demand too much from your engine when it is still cold.

[@MZopyrus]

This is correct

[@BizzarFish1]

My 2018 MX5 idles high on a cold start (any temp) and then drops down after 10-15 seconds it is part of the emissions system heating the cats (from what i have been told) if you start driving within that time before it drops the idle down its very jumpy until its "warmed up" its even states in the owners manual if you are in germany you cant let it idle until it reduces the RPM. find its pretty odd but i just leave it until it drops the RPM. Edit: im in the UK we dont get Canada/US levels of cold weather.

[@jaydrathsinhpuwar]

i let my bike warm up till the exhaust sound changes (15-20 secs) (because it doesn't have a rpm meter) and my reason is I think the metal should have a nice transition in temperature cause just getting onto the engine might rise the temps quick and it might increase wear , I might be completely wrong but I love my bike enough to waste that little time, no offence you can get onto ur machine high up to sky limit.

[@QuincyStick]

I think it's also quite different for motorcycles given the vast rpm differences between them and cars. You can gently drive a car at around 2k rpms pretty easily in a car. Can't exactly say the same for a bike haha (unless you're talking like harleys or something)

[@alexandergordeyev116]

What about turbo warmup in cold temps? Couldn’t the excess fluctuation in heat possibly crack the manifold? Correct me if I said it wrong, still I usually just start my car up about 10 mins before leaving

[@QuincyStick]

Unless the manifold is some sort of shitty aftermarket one, you should be fine. Also unless you live in a very cold climate, 10 minutes is honestly rather excessive. I'd look into the potential issues with excessive idling of a vehicle, and I'd consider 10 minutes PER startup of the vehicle to be rather excesssive. I'd would say once you see your coolant needle begin to move (assuming you have one) you're definitely in the clear. I personally just start mine up, get buckled, get music situated, and then take off and drive gently until the coolant needle is at least in the middle.

Is it bad to rev it a couple of times on a cooled down engine that was driven a few of hours before? So not a complete cold start, but not a optimal temperature either.

[@holeshot26]

pretty much the same, let the idle drop before driving, but I wait a while after the coolant temp gets up to 176° before getting into boost because i run a higher viscosity oil than oem recommended spec!

[@staterafukumoto]

my warmup routine (MR16DDT) is usually about 30 seconds to 1 minute. after i start the car it will do... something. it will run rich and the rpms will bounce a bit and then it will rev itself to about 1500rpm. once it does that it will drop to about 1100. once it does that, i'm good. i usually give it another 10 or 15 seconds or so anyways.

[@maxmouse3]

I do pretty much the same that you do, I wait for like 30 seconds when my idle lowers and I don't rev too much before it's warm. I have an E46 non M3, but on the M3, there's even a yellow line that starts at 4k RPM before it's warm. But yeap, 30 seconds or so it's worth it, but no more than that.

[@reruddock]

I would add that it is good practice to at least allow the engine to get to its low idle before shifting out of park. Cold engines typically idle high when they are first started and shifting from park when the idle is @ 1500 RPM can be harsh and stresses a transmission over time.

Hey man i have a tune question. Its for a motorcycle but it should be same concept. When i give it a small amount of throttle it dies.

3:50 *clearances A "tolerance" is a manufacturing specification limit, it has almost nothing to do with how tight-fitting two parts that rub together are.

[@v8berenguer372]

I once heard a automotive engineer say "I've seen engines damaged for lack of warm up, but I've never seen an engine damaged for allowing it to warm up before driving". And that stick with me. I've had cars and motorcycles, and I've always allow the engine to warm up for at least 2 minutes, and I've never, ever had an engine failure. 👍🇵🇹

[@QuincyStick]

I can promise you the engineer was not looking for the failure to be warm up related. If the engine failure was due to cylinder scoring, they would've assumed or correlated the damage to something else. Idling is just fundamentally bad for an engine, plain and simple. Now whether or not you want to argue idling for warmup is dangerous or not, is an entirely different thing. I just find that argument to be EXTREMELY flawed is all.

[@v8berenguer372]

​@@QuincyStick, I don't know. I'm not an Engineer. I do believe that allowing the engine to warm up, just enough (2 min max) to pistons to expand, reduces wear, due piston slap.

[@QuincyStick]

@@v8berenguer372 Piston slap, if any, will be extremely minimal to the point of being negligible. One of the recent camry v6s is notorious for piston slap when cold (And when I say piston slap, I mean aggressive enough to be audible during driving, regardless of how well you take care of them), and they still regularly tick for 200k+ miles. Again, if you'd like to argue that allowing the car to warmup for a little while is better than driving it right away, by all means, go ahead! I just think that the argument of "Well I've never been able to tie an engine failure to excessive idling" is pretty poor, as a lot of the potential engine failure modes of excessive idling could be mistakenly attributed to other things, and unless the tech/mechanic does an extensive deep dive into the engine while also thoroughly investigating the drivers habits, they're probably never going to assume that idling is the cause. Not necessarily saying that warmup idling would cause engine failure, simply that I find THAT particular reasoning for that stance to be rather flawed.

[@v8berenguer372]

@@QuincyStick I'm talking about 2 minutes max. I don't consider that excessive idle. In fact, I heard excessive idle is bad, because it washes away the lubricant from cylinder walls(which is obviously not good), and that excess fuel(cold engines run on a rich mixture) will end up in the oil pan, causing oil contamination/dilution.

People ask me this often, i put it this way to them, these cars arent your grandpapys carburated iron block V8's that need to warm up for like 3 minutes before you get going.

Dont start and drive out super hard, that wont do any good to you or your car.

I think it depends on the composition of different components. Aliminum pistons will expand faster then an iron block. That being said excessive idling is pointless.

Сам обычно делаю таким образом: если до -20, завожу машину, сажусь, пристёгиваюсь и еду(обороты при запуске держатся около 1400), через 1-1,5 км лампа низкой температуры жидкости гаснет и начинает идти теплый воздух. Если мороз сильнее, жду минуты 2-3 и еду так же обороты обычно за это время падают до 1300-1400. Через 1-1,5 км лампа низкой температуры жидкости гаснет.

I always wait until the revolutions drop, which is about 30 seconds. Then I drive carefully and slowly along the streets from the house, a maximum of 50 km/h before the water temperature indicator moves, which is about 20-30 degrees Celsius of the coolant. Then I can accelerate to a higher speed on the road outside the city, but I don't bother the engine, I wait until the oil temperature indicator (not water) shows 50 degrees Celsius - then I drive normally. But I don't turn the engine into the red zone unless the oil is at least 70 degrees. I have gasoline direct injection as a winter car - with a heat exchanger on the exhaust pipes so it heats up relatively quickly and uses all the waste heat from the engine. I also have a petrol 4.4l V8 - and it warms up immediately. I used to drive a diesel with indirect injection (with swirl prechambers) - and they are prone to cracking the head around the chambers if they are not heated properly, because the prechambers heat up faster than the rest of the head and there is a lot of tension in it. Diesels with direct injection are much less susceptible to head cracking.

I pop the hood, huff on the engine and cover it with my hand to warm in up before i start it.

[@iceneet336]

its about the same, it idles at 1500 then drops to 1000 then i gently guide it until coolant is at operating temp

[@21PHAZES]

i have the same warm up routine for so my cars except my rx8 i let that thing warm up till it’s at normal operating temperature

[@A2J_Tim]

I let the car warm up enough to defrost the windshield on its own, which is about 10 min, If its not frosty I let it run till warm air starts coming out the vents.

I always wait until the needle sits at the idling speed (it takes around 25s) and then I start driving slowly until it reaches 90°C water temp. Then I don't floor it until the 90° has been sitting for 15 minutes. Then I know that the oil temperature is at operating temperature.

Whenever I start my mk7 TDI, IT usually always idles for a minimum five minutes before driving just a bad habit. To my knowledge my extended idle is doing more harm then good with the emissions especially when I don't wanna get in a cold car and it idles for 45 minutes lol

For mine, it depends. I am Driving a Turbocharged Car. I was told to start the car and let it sits for about 5mins for it to warm up. Which I usually do. But sometimes I just heck it and drive off immediately upon engine start if I am in a rush but I won't whack the car until about 5 mins later. I find driving off the car warms up the car way faster than letting it sit in idle. I like to look at my gauges so I am able to monitor the temps on the go.

Единственное, грею машину чтобы она не замёрзла при стоянке, так как возможности подключить блочный обогреватель электрический нет, гаража теплого нет, слишком дорого. А автономный типо ,Webasto ещё дороже, до 10 раз. Есть портативный гараж типо "Наташи" как в Якутии, помогает сохранять тепло двигателя и машины. Но если вместо этого прокатится на машине минут 15-20, или больше 4 км, то остывает она дольше на пару часов, чем просто прогреть на холостом ходу. За 13 часов вчера с 84 остыла до -13, температура была от --34 утром, до -21 днём, ближе к вечеру -28, ночью за -30.

I let it idle for 15 minutes during winter so I can enter a somewhat warm car that isnt fogged up. And then when i start driving it gets to operating temp in a few minutes.

[@АлексейСоловьёв-ь3щ5ш]

Im from Russia. My warm up routine is to let the car idle as much as it needs to get my car warm inside so i wont get frozen to death. 😂😂😂😂 Without jokes, i always wait till the temp gauge makes the first movement, and then ride gentle till it completly warms up, and then, ratatatatatta even though i have a NA 1.6 engine.😂😂😂😂

[@bulmear2531]

my car sits outside and i leave my house at 6am, so typically the temp is 0, honestly i let it idle because i turn on the AC and seat warmer then go upstairs to take a dump this way the car is warm, when i get back

[@elliot438bcfcVTEC]

30 seconds max for me unless it's freezing temepratures then maybe 1 to 2 minutes. I do the same in my Honda Jazz or S2000

[@keisuketakahasi4584]

let the engine idle for 10-15 secs is fine. after that low rpms until water reaches 90°c, on a normal day with about 20°c its about 5-6 mins. after that "more normal" driving until 5 min later when the oil is at operating temp @ about 80°c. only then i start flooring hard with more than 3k rpms

[@wailingalen]

On the rare cold winter Floridian morningmorning I wait till after I put my boots on after foot powdering my feet, and blowing into my ignition interlock (breathalyzer) which is enough time for the idle to come down then I head out at easy rpm. I wait til after I pick up my coworker for carpool, then I start gunning it. By then oil temp is right at 190-200 😇

[@nahteo]

I drive gently but right away unless it's below 0 f (-18c)then I give it 60-90 seconds before gently driving off
