Should You Use P or N Gear When Warming Up the Car?

[StNevaeh]

Whether to use P gear or N gear when warming up the car depends on the situation: 1. If the intended direction is reverse, use P gear for warming up. When warming up in P gear, no gear shifting is required before driving. 2. If the intended direction is forward, you can use either N gear or P gear. In both cases, the power transmission and gearbox are disconnected, which has no impact on the car. The reasons for warming up the car are: 1. After prolonged parking, the engine oil flows back to the oil pan at the bottom of the engine. Therefore, when starting the engine after a long period of inactivity (such as overnight), the upper part of the engine is in a state without oil and lacks lubrication. 2. Before the engine reaches its operating temperature, the fuel supply system cannot effectively vaporize gasoline completely due to the low temperature.
