Sharrap, you never fit buy car.

Not unnecessary. Unless you drive a high powered vehicles, that is required to hit certain temperatures.........

Only if you live in cold places

I don't know how true this is, I will make findings myself.

I only find out that cars with Corolla engines do need warming up. No findings yet on new generation of cars, while I am so sure there are improvements in auto tech day by day, e.g Tesla


Meanwhile with just 3k, I will design a premium 3D logo and hyper realistic designs for your brands.

100% yes

In my opinion a car that has been sitting idle for at least 5 days in cold weather needs to be warmed up irrespective of whether it is an old or modern car

I honestly do not think it's necessary for modern cars.



Check my signature if you have a car. It might interest you

You want your newer model car to last longer? Let it run idle at least for 30 seconds before you drive off.

How do you feel at any age as a person when someone just wakes you up from sleep and beat you around to chores? The sluggishness, the annoyance, the loss of power early : despite the adult strenght in you, u may still fail because you are not mentally warmed up or prepared?

That's how cars feel too and worse cos they can't even refuse the push.

Not necessary if you drive a modern day car.

Ok

It's called steaming though most people uses the word warm.

It's good to steam car before we set it out on a drive.

GreaterFuture:
The Experts should tell us, we have many of them here on Nairaland.

only old cars with carburetors need warming up. modern cars with ECUs adjust the fuel air ratio as needed. You are very unlikely to be driving a car in 2020 that needs warming up. if you are driving such a car e.g 504, your problems are bigger than your car and you should drive yourself to holy Ghost retreat for deliverance!!!

yes

SUVs and price?

It's called steaming. Though many people often used the word warm.

It's good to steam it

I pray on my legs before going out in the morning
God go do car soonest

Depends on the car itself but what is most significant is for now long it has been parked. A relatively new, everyday driven car needs no warm up while one hardly driven one may require a service before turning the ignition.

2. Automatic car
To start an automatic car, the only one feasible practice that is pretty similar to the manual one is, taking advantage of the inclined terrain. And, all you need to do is also to copy steps you should do in a manual vehicle.

you will ultimately damage your auto gearbox if you do this

carsnazi:
This one is also useful: How to start the engine without using the cable!



Using the battery charger
This method comes handy for those cars whose battery is dead on a plain terrain. All you need to do is find an AC plug to replenish your battery for some hours by attaching the charger to it (yes, you heard it, some hours, so if time is not for you, this is not advisable).


Using solar charger
You can also make use of the solar energy to start your engine by lay your solar panel on the car's dashboard. Next, plug the panel into the car's lighter point. Doing this, you’re charging the dead battery, so you can start your engine again.

dont quite understand these two above, can u pls expantiate

Yes, you should warm up your car for about 30secs to 2mins so as to allow the oil circulate properly before driving off.

nairaman66:
It’s like waking of from sleep, and you are asked to get to do a hard day’s job. You will breakdown!

You need to put on your car for atleast 5-10 mins for the oil to circulate properly for easy transmission.

yes joor

That is not applicable to modern cars.

Infact it's better to start driving immediately u start the. car

Modern car way get injectors and ECUs. you dey waste time warming them up in the morning

Bros who told you that? , modern cars warm up faster when you drive immediately after starting. Just don't do fast and the furious till the car reaches operating temperature

I like your sarcasm most times.

Put on my intellectual cap and blazing my morning weed while reading between lines or rather as i perused through the op write up

I must confess this write up is not devoid of intellect

Depends on the type of vehicle, your location and how often you use the vehicle . Most modern automatic cars don't need it if you drive the car often . If you live in a very cold area, you will need to start the vehicle and let it run for a while every now and then especially in the morning even when you don't intend on driving it out.

HenryWilliams:
Warming up the engine in a modern day car isn't mandatory. However on a very cold night , it doesn't hurt to allow the engine reach operating temperature before driving. All in all, warming or no warming it doesn't remove anything from the engine.

While it doesn't remove much from the engine, keeping a car idle (warming) has been shown to consume more fuel and leads to poorer fuel efficiency when the car is in motion.
It also contributes more to global warming.

post=96883436:



Warming up your car improves combustion, fuel economy and performance. The engine's cooling system uses a thermostat to maintain its most efficient temperature range.

Auto experts today say that you should warm up the car no more than 30 seconds before you start driving in winter.
"The engine will warm up faster being driven,"

Haba suya seller Sabi something for automobile abi na your usual copy and paste routine?

Your so called modern vehicles do need warming.
When you turn your key into the Accessories position wait a few seconds for the vehicle to do a self diagnostic check. This usually comes in the form 3 pings or beeps , once that's done you now start the vehicle.
Once started , notice the engine will rev itself in my vehicle if you look at the Tachometer you'll see the engine speed indicator showing 2500- 3000 rev/minute.
After a minute or two the engine speed will gradually reduce until it rests stably at 1000 rev/ minute.
This is the point at which you can drive off.



So the answer to your question is Yes.

Just that in most cases you should " allow " your vehicle to do the honors. Don't just start your and drive off, permit your onboard car computer to self diagnose and warm-up the car for you.

u mean u can jerk start an automatic transmission car?

No, you can only jump start an automatic car using jumpstart cables.
