sayang lang. You get 0 km/l for 5 minutes. The guideline for cars now is I think go easy on the engine for 5-10 minutes until you get normal temperature. No revving on startup like some people do. di pa nga nakakacirculate yung langis, stressed kaagad.

This depends on your vehicle, usually it is stated in your manual.

For our Accord, it is stated that there is no need to warm up the engine, the car may be driven within a minute of starting.

According to the manual warming up the engine only wastes gasoline.

And also consider our climate, optimal driving temp is reached pretty quickly.

I don't warm up my engine. No need to warm up the engine, since your using multi viscosity motor oil. Its actually more advisable not to warm up the engine since we live in a tropical country, now if we live in a cold country that would require warming up.

well i just warmup for 30secs then drive off keeping the revs below 3k

One more thing, Don't rev your engine too hard until you reach normal operating temps, just to make sure all the motor oil has circulated inside your engine.

According to the honda civic's manual, wait 30 seconds after starting up the engine to let the oil circulate then u can drive at low rev.

i warm up my car if i have the time... hanggang mag normal operating temp bago ako umalis. pero pag nagmamadali high gear lang ako then low rev... para mabilis pa rin takbo hehe
