Do I need to Warm Up My Car When it\u2019s Cold Outside<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For more years than I can remember, I\u2019ve been warming up my car in the winter before I drive it so it can be nice and toasty when I get into it. I\u2019ve also always been told that it is good for your engine to get it warm before you start driving it in cold temperatures. Well, just like so many other myths, this one is totally false, well at least nowadays. So how many times have you asked yourself \u201c do I need to warm up my car when it\u2019s cold outside?\u201d I\u2019m sure it\u2019s been a lot. Just think of all the time and gas we\u2019ve all wasted over the years. So what\u2019s the real truth about warming up your car before you drive it when it\u2019s cold out?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Truth About Warming Up Your Car<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The truth is that warming up you car when it\u2019s cold outside is not only unnecessary, but it also wastes gas and is potentially even hurting your engine, not helping it. Your vehicle’s engine will warm up faster and more safely when you start driving it so you don\u2019t have to waste time or gas by warming it up before you hit the road. This myth that we\u2019ve all heard has roots dating back to the time when a vehicle’s carburetor was an essential component. Those days are long gone thanks to electronic fuel injection systems.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Should You Warm Up Your Car?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even though you can now forego the long warm-up period, you should still be careful when driving a car with a cold engine. The best thing you can do is to drive with a soft foot. Don\u2019t start slamming on the gas until you car\u2019s engine has properly warmed up. At least we don\u2019t have to run out our cars in the freezing cold to start them up anymore. Now all you have to do is hop in, wait a minute, then start driving.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
