Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Cold weather starting!!

Madness

Spring is almost here after lots of cold and snow in MN. After several nights that reached -10* F or colder, I was wondering how long other members let thier cars warm up in the mornings. I try for 10-15 if it is below 0*, 10 minutes up to 15*, you can see the trend.
 


once the oil is circulating well the car is good to go, regardless of the temperatures.

give it a minute, or whatever youre comfortable with then drive away. the only reason to let your car seriously warm up is so you can have heat right away.
 
Oh boy....If it's -10F or so I will give the car up to 10 minutes to idle. I also drive unusually slowly for the next 10 minutes.
