How many minutes does a car need to warm up?
1 Answers
Correct warm-up method: After starting the engine, wait for 30 seconds to one minute before driving. However, avoid driving at high RPMs at this time. Maintain a low speed with the engine RPM not exceeding 3000~3500, keeping it around 2000 RPM. Main reasons for warming up the car: After the car has been parked for a long time, the engine oil flows back into the oil pan at the bottom of the engine. Therefore, when starting, the upper part of the engine is in a state without oil and lacks lubrication. It takes about 30 seconds after starting for the oil pump to circulate the oil to the parts that need lubrication the most, such as the pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft.
