What he said

Why wouldn't you wait to warm up your car?? Can't you feel it feels so much more different warmed up? A little precaution saves sh** in the end

i do about 30-45 secs just enough to get the fluids moving

i crank and go during the summer, when its cold i let it warm 3-5 minutes. and i never rev it past 3k untill the needle is in the middle.

Does it really say that in the owners manual? ...WOW! .. Ford is slackin'! No warm up time needed?..That is definitely bad advice.

I usually let the car tell me. I let it warm up until it settles into idle RPMs. I have an iPod plug for my head unit so I just start it then plug that in and set up some songs while I wait.

bad advise... why

you young buck's don't know this I'm sure but when Pop said he was going to warm up the car he meant the inside not the motor. Drag racers push their car to the line and crank it and do a burnout within 45 seconds. They have a $200.000 motor. No warmup required.

Kolson

Its not a bad idea for a car company to say that their cars dont need to warmup. That way they can get people to buy new cars more often instead of having them last more than 100k miles.

Why?.. So that you give your oil and fluids a chance to atleast get up to proper operating temps. This HELPS in maximizing engine life. Pops knew that and so do I. .. Sounds like you old timers didn't give a $hit about your engines.
