There is a aftermarket device you can install in a few minutes to your oil pan and plug it into a eletrical outlet that will help a whole lot more than running the engine in cold temps.

why dose it snow here every year at least twice and people drive like they never saw snow before/?


In the Northern states, where the temps often drop below zero and stay there, even the best-engineered cars need a hand. Block heaters that plug into a household electric outlet (typically overnight) keep the engine block warm (which keeps the oil thin), making starting easier and reducing wear and pollution. Electric dipsticks, battery warmers and other solutions are available as aftermarket products, but when a factory option is offered it's usually a heater that screws into the engine block or bisects a heater hose, where it warms and circulates the engine coolant.

Do I need to warm up my car during the winter months?

while travelling in a motorhome in the US, does my NJ handgun permit allow me to carry on board the motorhome?


It is a good idea, yes. If you don't, it will still run. When the car is parked, the oil drops down from between the critical surfaces, where lubricity is important, to the oil pan. When it is cold, the oil is thicker and does not get pumped up into the high end of the engine as quickly as when it is warm. Allowing the engine to operate with no load for about one minute will facilitate the oil's motion to all parts of the engine. There is a school of thought that this short warm-up time will also allow some alloys to better adjust to the cold. Since metal contracts in cold, some think additional friction occurs. Note: If you don't warm your engine up at all, it will still run.
