Warm up the engine??

[jasonub]

no need to warm up modern engines with modern lubrication just dont race it till it reaches normal operating temperature

Ditto...

I usually idle for 5-10 secs in the morning before i move then i just drive slowly (in low RPMS) until the engine hits normal temp range... tamang-tama, by the time i get out of the subdivision, the car is already up to normal running temp.

start ng engine, lagay ng seatbelt, turn on ung cd player, tapos alis na at low rev. ok na siguro un. mga ilang secs na rin un e. hehe.

Warm up? 'Bout a minute, then I'm off.

pag diesel (starex '99) gaano katagal ang warm up?

Sa old school diesel engine ko, mga 15-30 secs idle lang. The i drive slowly (20-30kph) for the next 2 mins. Then normal driving na. Sayang sa diesel if you idle to warm up. And matagal mag normal operating temp ng diesel kung naka idle. It will take you around 15 mins.

^ Lalo na with the old school, big diesels. Tagal yan mag operating temp.

There's no need for a warm-up. Just start the car, buckle up, pick your driving song, don on your sunglasses and drive off.

The Honda shop manual allows accelerated warm-ups by opening up the throttle to 3k RPM until the radiator fan starts (optimal temp). This is how they do it in the shop to do certain diagnostics and troubleshooting. It also means that modern engines warm up faster and the oil can get to where it needs to go quicker when the RPM is raised at a prescribed level. In other words, keeping the RPM too low or near idle while driving can actually lengthen the warm up period. Driving your car while shifting between 2-3k RPM is ideal.

Modern A/T cars extend/delay the shift points while the engine is cold so it can warm up faster.

+1, even in the US winter, motorists just idle the car for 10 seconds, that is enough time for the oil to circulate (0W oil assuming)

just take the driving easy for the first few 100 meters, by then nasa normal operating temp na ang engine.

I think in wintertime, they warm up the engine also because the engine coolant is used in the HVAC to heat up the passenger cabin. It usually takes a few minutes for the engine to become warm enough to raise the cabin temp.

just like much of the responses here, i just wait for the rpm to settle down before taking off. minsan pag nagmamadali, larga agad

My practice is to warm up for just a minute and then I am off either diesel or gas. Longer than that, I feel like it's a waste of gas.

kapag nasa lower parking ako sa office, i let it warm up for a little bit. pansin ko pag itinakbo mo kaagad hirap sya to go up the incline. kelangan talaga stay ka lang sa 1st gear. unlike kapag na-warm up na segunda kayang-kaya umakyat. also, kapag may time i let it level to the idle speed of about 800rpm. kasi pag-on mo mag-race to around 1.5k sya muna for a while.

sa mga malalamig na lugar, one of the reasons to warm up also eh madalas very short distances lang sila. usually a trip to the supermarket which is just maybe a few blocks away. alam naman natin mas masama sa engine at sa oil kapag short trips lang without getting a chance for the engine to even go up to operating temps.

Sa de-karburador kong car, kailangan ko pang i-warm up ng 1 minute bago lumarga. Mas maikli naman pag de-EFI ang gamit ko, 15 seconds lang. The reason for this practice of mine is to let the oil spread in the engine (I'm using Castrol GTX 20W50 lang kasi). Then I drive slowly, revving not more than 2000 rpm, for 2 kilometers w/o AC before switching to the usual driving mode.

Ako, takbo na, pero hindi hard driving kaagad....

As per owner's manual, let the rpm settle sa normal idling level. During start, >1k rpm tapos bababa about 800 rpm in a few seconds

or meaning, you let the engine operate at normal temperature; kaya important to match yung viscosity rating ng engine oil sa temperature ng Pinas

maybe so, and that is just to help to warm the cabin. but in terms of idle time or waiting for the oil to circulate before driving, any more than 5mins is just a waste of fuel.

ako mga 5-10 sec. lang and then larga na agad but soft driving lang muna.
