The MYTH of warming up your engine

Lets get something straight. Car engines DON’T benefit at all from being warmed up before driving. You’re actually hurting your engine and polluting the environment the most by letting your cold engine idle.

The best thing to do is to turn the engine on, wait about 10-30 seconds (put your seat belt and music on) and start driving it lightly. That way you are warming up the engine to it’s optimal temperature as fast as possible.

You see guys, the car engine is just a MACHINE and this MACHINE operates most efficiently when it’s running at a certain temperature range. The faster the engine reaches that temperature, the better. Until the car is warmed up, the engine is wearing out much faster than normal because the engine oil provides the best protection against friction between all the moving metal parts when it’s it’s completely warmed up. Until it reaches that state, the engine is wearing out much faster than normal. Turning the engine on and immediately driving lightly warms the car up much faster than idling.

Drive healthily fellas!
