Is it okay to idle the car in place for a long time?

[LeMackenzie]

Long-term idling in place is not recommended. Here is more information about idling in place: 1. Reasons: Long-term idling in place affects the car's engine, as it can lead to an increase in carbon deposits inside the engine. 2. Correct approach: After starting the engine, you can engage the gear and drive for a while, which is beneficial for the car's engine, transmission, battery, and tires. 3. Proper warm-up method: Drive at low speeds. After idling in place for half a minute to one minute, when the RPM stabilizes, you can engage the gear and start driving. Keep the RPM below 2000, shift gears gently, and accelerate smoothly. This is the most standard and correct warm-up method, which is energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and reduces carbon deposits.
