I was arguing with my dad earlier this evening.
I have an 03 civic, he has a 11 sonata.
He always lets the car warm up at least 2 minutes in winter and 30 seconds in the summer months.
I typically wait 30 seconds in winter, and maybe 10 seconds in summer. I don't drive it hard till its fully warmed up.
Odd because I'll always warm my Harley up before I go anywhere......
Has either way ever been proved to help engine or drive train longevity? Or is it all personal preference / wisetails....?
