Warm up the engine??

[Innova_Boy]

Does car nowadays need warm up first in the morning or you can just drove away after starting the engine??

For me I usually warm up th engine for approx. 5 min before drving off...

how bout you people?? Thanks..

WBR,

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

[falken]

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.

[ILuvDetailing]

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.

i warm up my car until it reaches 800rpm. =)

[Tacoma_34]

pag nasa NE USA ka warm up talaga.

[pissword]

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

[av8or5]

30 seconds okay na yun..then drive smoothly until temp reaches normal.

[ts1n1ta]

hmm i don't think i do this... nde ko in-o-on yung aircon until the temp goes up that's what i do.

Tama yan, just drive it lang then turn on aircon when it reaches normal temperature.

[Emong3]

Ako mga 10 to 30 seconds after start, larga na. Binubuksan ko din ang aircon para mag init agad ang makina. Pero very low revs lang, max=2500 rpm until mag normal ang temp.

[zechs]

ako din di ko in-o-on yung aircon kaagad kasi "nahihirapan" yung engine..pero i think sa mga newer cars today..ok lang i-on ang aircon even if the engine's still cold.

I think sa weather ng Pilipinas, hindi mo na siguro kailangan i-warm up that long. Maybe a minute or two! But from where I am right now with freezing temperatures, I even have to warm-up to at least 10 minutes...

Yeah, yeah, yeah! People always say na hindi na kailangan i-warm up ang mga sasakyan with the advanced current engine design. But I still find my SUV performing better when being warmed-up a little bit. Personal preference na lang din yun! He he he!!

[wilcats]

wla nang warmup warmup, drive na agad, pero keep ur revs low. ang tataas nyo nman magrev?? not over 3k? ako d lumalampas ng 2k, shift lng ako agad.. matipid ako sa gas eh... lumalampas lng ako pag kinakailangn.

[mazdamazda]

di lumalagpas ng 2K? baka puro carbon build-up na yan... hehe...

Panahon na ng fuel injection at computer-controlled engines. Sa weather ng Pilipinas, you don't have to warm up. You just have to let the oil circulate a bit first then gently drive off.

And huwag na magtiis sa init. May idle-up compensator na ang modern engines which senses that you are using the a/c and adjusts itself accordingly.

Warm up mo mga 2minutes ok na yun,mainit naman satin e,intayin mo lang bumaba yung rpm sa normal,den pwede mo nang paandarin.
