Does a Mercedes-Benz Need to Warm Up?

[LeZachary]

Mercedes-Benz vehicles require warming up because after prolonged parking, the engine oil flows back into the oil pan at the bottom of the engine. Precautions for warming up: When the engine is cold, the oil has not yet circulated to all parts, making it most susceptible to wear. Statistics show that over 90% of engine component wear occurs within the first three minutes after a cold start. Therefore, idling to warm up the engine in winter, especially in severe cold, can easily damage the engine. Correct warm-up technique: After starting the engine, wait 30 seconds to one minute before driving, but avoid high RPMs during this time. Maintain a low speed with the engine RPM not exceeding 3000, ideally around 2000 RPM. Otherwise, the severe wear on the engine and transmission may become irreversible. Once the engine temperature rises to the normal operating range (which typically takes 3 to 5 minutes), you can resume normal driving.
