Fri, 16 July 2004 00:03 Warming up is certainly important, but what most people don't understand is you don't have to sit in your driveway idling while the engine warms up. In fact, many manufacturers these days recommend you warm up the engine by driving (gently of course), not sitting and idling. That's the way I do it these days - start the engine, back out of the driveway, and putt around slowly until the temperature gauge is up to the "normal" position. As for warming down, like I said it's good practice immediately after a flogging (ie the engine is hot), but if the engine is already at its normal operating temperature it's not going to get any cooler by idling for 5 minutes is it?
