Do China V diesel vehicles still need to warm up?
1 Answers
China V diesel vehicles need to warm up. Warm-up duration for diesel vehicles: In summer, you can warm up the vehicle for one minute while stationary, whereas in winter, it's necessary to idle for about 3 minutes to complete the warm-up. Reasons: After being parked overnight, the engine oil flows back to the oil pan. Upon restarting, it takes time for the oil to gradually return to its original location. Therefore, idling for one minute after starting the vehicle provides a buffer period for the oil to return to its working position and perform its lubricating function, while also allowing the engine's operating temperature to rise to the normal working temperature. In winter, due to lower temperatures, the engine's operating environment is colder, and the oil's fluidity decreases, requiring a longer idle time for the engine temperature and oil to reach normal operating conditions.
