Ok I over heard some guys talking about how they have to warm up their cars. There isn't many things i know, but one thing i do know for sure is, warming up a car is a bad thing. Car engine belive me or not were never made to sit idle.

It doesn't matter how hot or cold the oil is, when you start your car in the morning(or after it's been sitting a few hours) all the oil has seeped back down into the oil pan. You give it time to recirculate and get up to the head more than heat up. |
