Idling is bad for your engine..

[mbeige]

idling bad?.. paano pag trapik.. idling tayo minsan for more than 30 mins di ba..

Di lang 30 mins. That's why the traffic condition there is already a case of extreme driving conditions. Hence the need to do maintenance more often. This is further worsened by family drivers who leave the car idling in the parking lot, with their feet on the dashboard... I see this everytime in Megamall. Oh boy...

For my turbodiesels, I idle for around 20 seconds before driving off in low gear, keeping engine revs under 2000 rpm.

Nakakapikon lang minsan kasi paglabas ng gate namin, provincial highway kaagad. Eh sa bagal ng takbo ko pag cold start, pati mga tricycle at kuliglig ino-overtake ako

Ok lang yan, you know your car is not abused and that's better. Besides, di naman nakakabilis yung mga trike. Oras na warmed up ka na ayos na yun. Ako rin I keep it below 2000rpm and 30mph, minsan 25mph pa para safe. I don't mind being passed, once I reach operating temp ako naman mag-overtake.
