To warm-up or not to warm-up

The best bet is to give it say 30 seconds on the very cold mornings and then drive off. Get a mile or two before hitting the highway.

That warms it up fast and without stressing the engine. It also warms up the transmission and power steering fluids as well as the struts and other ssuspension and drive train parts.

So save the environment and you car and don’t idle it to warm it.
