at least 2 minutes so the oil goes up
at least 2 minutes so the oil goes upSorry if this is a repeat thread, tried searching with no luck.
I used to have a bimmer so I never had to really warm up my car (I believe they advise you not to). Now that I have my Accord I don't really know how long I should let it idle before I start driving. Suggestions?
Oil pressure? That does not take two minutes. More like two seconds.at least 2 minutes so the oil goes up
really? have a link to that? Ive always been under the impression that we needed to warm up our cars and was told by a friend to let the RPMs hit the 1 before driving which takes me about 5 minutes (and its not even winter yet). Now i feel a little better about not having a remote starter :thmsup:Honda has said in at least one of my four Honda owner's manuals that even in the coldest weather, the engine only needs one minute to warm up.
I just did a search in the owner's manual for the words 'warm up' and there is no mention of a time. However, driving gently or easily until the engine comes up to normal operating temperature is just good sense.really? have a link to that?

There is no mention in the current owner's manual, but I've been driving Hondas since 2002 and in at least one of those, it said what I said earlier.really? have a link to that?
