4 Reasons Why You Need To Let Your Car Warm Up In The Winter
1. Get the juices flowing
You probably all knew this one already. After your car has been standing for a while, your engine oil will settle in the bottom of the oil pan. It takes around 10 to 30 seconds to get it properly circulating again. If it’s cold, your oil will be more viscous (thick) to begin with so it might take a bit more time than that. Oil plays a crucial role in reducing metal-to-metal rubbing in your engine, so you want to make sure it’s all lubed up.
Most manufacturers recommend driving off after about 30 seconds (in a chilled out manner). This way you will hit operating temperature quicker and reduce the amount of time your engine has to spend in miserable conditions. No need to idle for 10 minutes!
