Should you?

Well, that's the question we're going to start with today on this episode of Something You Should Know.

Hi and welcome, I'm Mike Carruthers.

So, a lot of drivers believe that letting your car idle to warm up in the morning before you drive it is a good thing.

In fact, it is a bad thing, and it can actually do harm to parts of your engine, causing them to wear out.

Warming your engine up was smart back before 1980 when cars had carburetors, because if the gasoline was too cold, the car could stall out.

But now, with electronic fuel injection, that's just not an issue anymore.

So it's fine to drive your car shortly after you started.

It is still recommended by some to wait about 20 to 30 seconds for the engine oil to circulate, but after that it's fine to drive.
