How to Warm Up a New Car in Winter?

[StConnor]

Introduction to car warming methods in winter: Do not press the accelerator to warm up the car. When starting a cold engine, the idle speed is protected by the system, and the engine will operate at a higher RPM before gradually dropping to 750-800 RPM. Therefore, you only need to let the vehicle run on its own. Here are the reasons why a car needs to be warmed up: 1. After prolonged parking, the engine oil flows back into the oil pan at the bottom of the engine. Thus, when starting, the upper part of the engine lacks lubrication. It takes about 30 seconds after ignition for the oil pump to circulate oil to critical components like pistons, connecting rods, and crankshafts. 2. In winter, engine oil becomes thicker and less fluid. Idling allows the oil to re-coat engine components. Again, avoid pressing the accelerator to warm up the car. The engine's idle protection during cold starts ensures it runs at a higher RPM before gradually settling to 750-800 RPM, so simply let the vehicle run on its own.
