How long is it appropriate to warm up the car before driving?

It is appropriate to warm up the car for about one minute before driving. Warming up the car means keeping the car in an idle state after starting it. When the car is not in motion, the engine is not running, and the oil does not circulate. If the car remains stationary for a long time, the oil will settle at the bottom of the oil pan. If you start driving immediately after ignition, the oil cannot reach all parts of the components in time, failing to provide any lubrication, which can damage the engine. Warming up the car should not take too long, but it should not be completely ignored either, as this step is crucial. It is recommended that car owners pay attention to this, especially during cold winter months when warming up the car becomes even more important. This step must not be skipped, otherwise the car may suffer damage.
