Do new cars need to idle for a while before driving?

[NorahDella]

New cars need to idle for a while before driving, as cold engines require preheating. Reasons for warming up the car: The main reason for warming up the car is that after prolonged parking, the engine oil flows back into the oil pan at the bottom of the engine. Therefore, warming up is essential. The correct method for warming up is to start driving after 30 seconds to one minute of idling, but avoid high-speed driving at this time. Maintain a low speed with the engine speed not exceeding 3,000-3,500 RPM, generally keeping it around 2,000 RPM. Consequences of not warming up the car: In winter, when temperatures are low, most of the engine oil settles at the bottom of the engine. If you suddenly start driving, the oil pump cannot immediately lubricate the entire engine with all the lubricating oil, which can cause damage to engine components.
