I have heard so many different sides to this....what do you guys think about warming up a car and letting it sit after it is driven. Does it help the engine?

Ummm as far as I know thats more with forced induction engines. Improper cooling down can warp parts, in particular the exhaust manifold. I always let my car warm up in cold weather, I dont know if it helps, Id assume it gets all the liquids moving around and what not. |
