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

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.

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.

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.

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.

My warm up routine is start and drive immediately no idle, in my petrol/gas motor i keep it below 30% of max rpm until coolant and oil are both up to temp and in my diesel i do the same but keep rpm below 45% if max rpm until all at temp.. both my vehicles are direct injection, petrol car is 2009 mazda 3 2.0 sport on 114000miles still running tight and smooth, diesel vehicle is a 2006 vw tuareg 5.0 v10 with 125000miles and also starst runs and drives like new... i change oil every 4000/6months on the mazda and every 6000/6mobths on the diesel. I run archoil fuel system cleaner in both vehicles every 1000miles and they both return at least the mpg and performance they did when new. I think the most important thing is keeping everything gentle until operating temperature and high frequency oil changes with high quality oil and high quality fuel or regular fuel system treatments

Fuel consdensation is still influencing ur Car bc the maschine has a Knock sensor which changes the ignition point which lowers the performance isnt it so? And if ure piston and cylinder wall isnt warmed up there is a bigger gap between it even with the oil and the sealing ring which means that the gasoline gets more in the crankcase isnt it so? And the thing with the 5W30. this doesnt mean that the viscosity is optimal for an not warmed up engine. U showed us the range of the outside Air but when it comes to the inside warmth the oil is not heated enough for optimal running isnt it? like u cant connect the operating scale from the oil to the viscous... of the oil isnt it so? I am just a student so tell me if i am wrong or right and give me the solution pls.

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 6 ай бұрын
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 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.

@@QuincyStick I'm talking about 2 minutes max. I don't consider that excessive idle.

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. I say its valid in my opinion that you need to let your computer let the engine at least warm up until it does kick down in rpms to around 1200 before you start moving, but dont drive it hard until your temps move upto optimal at the very least. Dont start and drive out super hard, that wont do any good to you or your car.

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.

Живу в России, машина Honda Fit GD2 2007 г. Температур зимой меньше -20 градусов Цельсия не бывает, может достигать до -50, но в моем районе обычная температура -30-40. В американском и русском мануале ничего не написано про прогрев двигателя. На сайте японском сказано, что до -20 греть машину нет необходимости, на американских сайтах от 30 секунд до 1 минуты. В переводе с японского мануала написано-как только обороты уменьшатся, можно ехать, но в морозную погоду желательно постоять ещё несколько минут. 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. По закону у нас греть машину во дворе, жилой территории нельзя больше 5 минут. (Обычно это не наказывается, но и не соблюдается повсеместно некоторые могут греть двигатель до 3 часов).

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. For my old diesel (depending on how cold it is) a few minutes to let some diesel degel and circulate and some time for most of the internals to begin expanding gently is enough to ease into gear and through the rev range until oil temp comes up.

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

99 miata with 250k miles.. ALWAYS feels better (initially and throughout the day) when warmed up completely after sitting all night.. Might just be a high- mileage thing 🤷🏻‍♂

that's an every car thing usually. ecu compensation until it detects your temp being at "operating" - usually a set value so you will notice it run better at a specific point in the temp gauge every time

Ye my routine is basically yours. I start it up. Wait a few seconds for the idle to drop before putting it in gear. Then it's about 3-10 minutes before I can go apeshit on my car. That wait before it gets to operating temp does very by about a minute or two in cold weather.

I wait 10 seconds at startup to have all the parts lubricated. Then I drive under 2000rpms until the oil is at 75C and under 3000rpms while it goes from 75 to 90C. After 90C I can floor it if I want.

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
@QuincyStick 6 ай бұрын
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.

I think this myth is engine specific. Its called "operating temperature" because its the ideal conditions. Cars today are built for consumers, who like to hop in fire up and go. So its fine to do this. Its not fine to fire up and go for 2 minutes and then cool off. Heat cycles are what wear engines. If it doesn't reach ideal temp during a drive cycle your causing more wear.

I have to let mine warm up a lot to spare the transmission. I don’t know enough about transmissions to know why but mine for whatever reason will shift awfully until it’s quite warm. It’s an automatic 2013 Acura Tl if anyone has an explanation but I’m probably to get it looked at soon anyway

Probably bad fluid that needs to be changed. If yours hasn't ever been changed, and depending on the mileage, it's possible that changing it may only do more harm (REALLY divisive subject and you'll a million different answers as to if that's actually true or not)

2:45 to everybody who uses the metric system why do you use Celsius instead of Fahrenheit? Wind Fahrenheit is more accurate you have more numbers therefore you’re more accurate you can divide those numbers easier then you can Celsius, so why do you use Celsius for heat? We need is harder to do then. Everything else a.k.a. Fahrenheit.

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.

This is wildly inaccurate. Oil circulates near instantly. Get an oil pressure gauge, or watch any of the 1000 videos that show oil reaching the head within moments of starting the car.

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.
