I've always allowed my car to warm up to Mid way on the temp gauge, until, pushing. I do this to alow the oil to circulate properly.
When exiting my carpark, I start the car, wait 10-15 seconds, then coast out of the carpark, keeping the rpm under 3K. By the time I reach the exit the temp is at normal
I have seen many people in ordinary cars, turn the key and drive off, within 1 or 2 seconds. I can only imagine what they are doing with their engines and with standard oil in them, as opposed to synthetic, which does circulate faster.
Am I wrong ?
