start and drive. This is a 2010 car, not a 1960.

I use my remote start and let it warm up for about 10 minutes.

I add MMO to my tank ay every fill. This helps with the dry starts. As soon as the fuel is there, a little MMO is there too.

Ok, I have been mechanic for 18 years now. If you think your engine is ready to go the instant the first cylinder fires you are gravely mistaken. Basically there is nothing more I can say to change your opinion. Do what you want with your car. I won't do that to mine!

Auto start while I'm getting my shoes on and whatever I need and putting it in the trunk...total time 2 - 3 mins. Anything longer then that I think is a waste of gas...

I agree. I like to let it warm up a couple of minutes when cold. Also, most of the engine wear occurs at start up.

I have remote start so its atleast ten minutese for me.

Blade · 04-21-2010, 10:54 AM

Wait till it drops down to 500 rpms and then go, takes about a min. I also set it off with the remote stater, so by the time I walk up to her to get in, shes almost done getting warm
