I've been thinking about what actually affects the warming up time of an engine and if type of oil can change it.
My observations in my 2 cars:
My Kia takes a good amount of time for the temp sensor to start moving, while my MB shows an increase within the first 2 mins or less.
The obvious differences are:
1. 5w30 in Kia vs european 5w40 (or 0w40 sometimes) in MB
2. MB has a turbo engine, Kia is not
Point #2 is questionable since for the first 2 mins of moving I'm literally just able to leave the underground parking lot at speeds 5-10 mph, so turbo does not kick in.
I'm guessing there're some other factors that I'm just not aware of. Will appreciate some inout and knowledge
