Do You Need to Warm Up Your Car in Cold Weather?
1 Answers
It is necessary to warm up your car in cold weather. It is recommended to warm up the car for about 3 minutes before driving slowly, but not too fast. This ensures even heating of the car without causing damage, and also protects the engine. Warming up means waiting for one or two minutes after starting the engine before driving, which allows the engine and transmission to warm up. Due to the low temperatures in winter and the normal operating temperature of the engine being around 90 degrees Celsius, a significant temperature difference is created. Driving immediately under these conditions can severely affect engine performance, leading to insufficient lubrication of moving parts.
