"labouring" a cold engine is as bad as overreving it.

Read your owners manuals for shift rpm's.

Well, I will continue to idle for 5 mins before driving. Works fine with my Toyota close to 200,000 clicks and doesn't miss a beat

Besides, my drive-way inclines at 35 degrees and I'll be damned if I drive a cold engine up that

winnar!

just drive your car "normally"

no soft "pussy footing" or "babying"

[rayDC2R]

so if i shift at 4k rpm normally... i should warm it up like that?

[lovesil]

I think i will still stick to my normal routine of 3 min idling. Reason being, is that my place is near to a main road, where everyone's driving 80 - 100kmph. If i drive my car out without min warming up, i felt i'm stressing it by bringing it straight up to the 80 - 100kmph.

But will apply the new theory when i move to a new place.
