    WHY?? Car has to be WARMED up so many times????

    What up, it's still summer i say. N everytime i warm up my car. it takes bout like 5-6 minutes to go to 1 RPM, cuz when it starts it starts on 1.5 RPM then slowly goes down. Why everytime. I heard since lil that when its HOT (summer) u don't need to warm the car up that long. But i dont wanna just drive off, it my car is still at 1.5 Rpm.

    P.s. if your car needs to be warmed up, n u constanly drive it before its even WARM. What could that do to my car?????/. THANKS

    Ummmm i think even if its hot out it still will warm up...it does this to get the car to its optimal operating temp....it runs a lil high untill the internals are warmed up and the fluids...and as far as doing damage i dont think it would do anything because the car will be warmed up by you driving it....i never wait for it to completley warm up and my car runs fine.

      you need to let your car warm up no matter how hot it is outside.

      the internals of the engine are made up of different alloy's and metals that expand at different rates. it's best for the motor to warm up slowly ratter than quickly.

      plus, when you first start the car, most of the oil is in the pan. it needs time to make its way through the engine before you start at driving RPM's.

      also, the car idles high for more than one reason, the alternator is replacing the energy to the battery that it took to start the car. the high idle also brings the motor up to operating temp. later.

        oh ok, thanks.

        Since i was Lil i always heard , when it's hot outside u dont need to warm up the car as much . But after all said. that's true . The fluids do need to get warmed up , n in their place.

          ALWAYS let the engine warm up. Just because its hot outside, doesnt mean that the engine is hot.


          about the alternator, depends on where ya go. The alternator isnt that hard on our cars. but expect to spend an hours time for labor (from a shop) plus the price on the part. so expect $150-$175 (ball park pricing) [75 in labor, and balance on part]
