    poor cars, i'm sure di magtatagal lalabas yung sira nun, ako nga before i drive my car on road, idle ko muna ng at least 3mins and 30 mins before i switch on my aircon..

    parehas tayo bosing, in the morning, i let my engine warm up first. i wait for the temp to reach half of the guage then start to drive, after which i switch on the fan of my A/C, then the thermostat switch.

    before i reach my destination or park, i switch off the thermostat of the a/c first, then when I'm properly parked i switch of the radio first then the fan of the a/c then the engine.

    i don't rev the engine anymore since efi naman sya.

    Aksaya lang din sa gasolina yan. If you have a properly working thermostat, then the proper way to warm up the engine is to drive off, pero hinay-hinay lang muna until it reaches operating temp.

    hindi naman siguro aksaya sa gas kasi kinukundisyon ko muna yung engine for 3mins and after that patatakbuhin ko na.. after 10-30mins saka ko bubuksan yung aircon.

what is the proper way of turning your engine off?
