Do you guys warm up your engine in the morning?
Do you guys warm up your engine in the morning?
I normally warm it up about 2-3 minutes until the temperature raise a bit. And in the winter time, it takes about 5 minutes.
I read on a 99 ITR manual that it doesn't need to be warm up because they said that it will waste gasoline. and I couldn't find anything about it on Maxima manual.
What do you guys think?

You shouldn't let the car idle more than 1 minute, summertime or wintertime. It is better to drive off slowly than let the car idle for a long time because the engine will build higher oil pressure- which helps circulate the oil better- plus the engine will warm up much faster when you drive it. Don't rev the motor quickly (zing the motor) and rev too high for a first few minutes after driving off.

What you really want is for the oil temp to come up before you horse the engine.

Even though my max is garaged most of the time, I still run it for a few minutes before I need to go anywhere
