Engine Warm Up

[Turbo Lover]

I go WOT until 5k in each gear until the engine is completely warmed up. Damn cold weather and the heat not working right away

Consider placing a towel or such in front of the radiator to block, partially, the air flow. You may not want to do this in the summer though.

True story, a few winters ago it was -24 actual temp, and my coolant used to dip well below normal temp level if it idled for too long.

You're joking right?

 

[$ub$onic]

Probably not. Some people think because the engines are tested like that that they can drive like it.

That's the fastest way you can kill your engine, while driving.

When it's -30C and colder, you want a warm engine before you drive just so you can defrost your breath which instantly freezes on the windows.

You are correct.

When the engine has run about
10 seconds to warm up, the
vehicle is ready to be driven. Do
not run the engine at high speed
when it is cold. If the weather is below freezing
(0°C or 32°F), let the engine run
for a few minutes to warm up. - my old 2011 aveo manual

It was 37C outside when I got into my Sonic at my work parking lot. Sure don't have to worry about any 'warm up' time!
