Does the Audi A6 Need to Warm Up?

The Audi A6 also requires warming up before starting. Warm-up Duration: In summer, you can warm up the car for about one minute while stationary, whereas in winter, it's necessary to idle for approximately 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 position. Therefore, idling for about a minute after starting the car provides a buffer period for the oil to circulate back to its working areas and perform its lubricating function. Additionally, this helps raise the engine's operating temperature to its normal working range. 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 both the engine temperature and oil to reach optimal working conditions.
