So you're saying our cars are "advanced enough" to just be primed to go at a moment's notice? Wouldn't that be the equivalent of just drop kicking someone out of a sound sleep?
Doesn't the engine need oil to run with best results?  |
This.
All the hero's defending the manual can go ahead and do just that. Theyre ignoring common sense. Viscosity changes at lower temps so letting it warm for a min isnt harming anything.
Idling for 15 min could though because it makes you run LEAN.
At any rate, avoid heavy acceleration or 3000+rpm until at operating temps.
You dont need the oil temp gauge to see if youre at operating temp. The digital oil level check in the onboard computer or idrive only gives you a reading when at operating temps. Otherwise it gives you a spinning "loading" icon.
