I have heard as many arguments to warm up your car in cold weather as not to. What is your opinion? thanks – rudy fernandez
In the past, vehicles were equipped with carburetors, heat riser tubes, and a lot of mechanical linkages that had to warm up before they would operate correctly. Today’s vehicles are engineered and designed to allow the owner to get in their car, crank the engine, put it in gear, and get started with their busy day. All of the components that used to be mechanically controlled, are now electronically controlled by the computer. The vehicle’s Powertrain Control Module knows the temperature outside and adjusts the related components accordingly. So unless you’re warming your vehicle up just to get the heater hot, don’t worry about any other additional warm up time. Thanks! – Jim Burdeshaw
