truely is odd...normal recommendation is to start engine and only idle for
about 30 or less...just enough time to get the vital fluids
circulating..then drive off, but drive easily....driving heats the internals
evenly and quickly whereas idling does not....not that anyone actually
follows the manual especially when its ass cold outside...LOL
