no this is only true if you start it up and then rev it up to like 6k evreytime till it warms up. start it up drive under 3k and the engine will be fine unless its a diesel then i suggest at least a 5 min warming upA car typically needs 30-60 seconds to warm up. However if your car HAs over 75000 miles on it you should give it about 3 minutes....
You can run your car while it's still cold but you risk doing [serious] damage to it. its better to let it warm up then to pay to have it fixed. It's like microwaving something thats been frozen.
Also in the winter, try minimizing the amount of short trips you take. When your car sits for a while in the cold parts start to develop ice on them and when you start up the engine, it melts this ice, forming water. If your car runs for a while the water evaporates and is fine. But if you drive for a little bit and turn it off again the water remains in the system and causes havoc.

First of all, use SPELL CHECK...it's your BEST friend.....It's engine, not enging..lol...Just kidding.Could anything cause oil cap to be blown off besides it not being screwed on tight enough?

will a power steering rack off a 91 cav fit on a 94 Astra?
depends on the year of car, oil type, oil pressure, and outside temperature. If it's that cold--you should use a block heater. older cars without oxygen sensors it would cause excess gas to enter the crankcase and wash down the cylinders of the engine causing excessive wear.when u hold a stearing wheel in a car do u hold it at 10 n 2 or 9 n 3 or wat?
The "latest thing" I've heard is it's OK to drive off as soon as it gets oil pressure, and that happens within a few seconds.Is there an additive you can put in your coolant to lower engine temp?
I'm not sure "warming it up" for a period of time really hurts things that much, unless it is warmed up at a low RPM rather than a medium RPM.

Warming up at a low idle might keep things like cylinder walls and valve stems which are "splash lubricated" from getting lubrication as fast as if you were driving.

The best thing is to drive away after a few seconds (as soon as the engine idles smoothly) and drive gently at medium speeds until the motor warms up. If you don't have a temp. gage you can tell it's warm when your heater works!

You can start your vechile and go, just take it easy for 5mins till the engine warms up to operating temperture. unless you have an automatic transmission, you should warm it up for a couple of minutes or else you will have transmission problems further down the track. its more imprtant to warm up trans fluid than the engine. Keep your regular oil changes in the engine up to date and you should'nt have any problems with cold starts wear and tearing those vital rings and bearings.More Questions & Answers ...
