To all car/bike owners & enthusiasts, do you usually warm your engine up for a few minutes before driving? Is it really a general rule? I know ma-google ra ni nga pangutana, but I've already read too many contradicting answers. Some would say it is necessary to let the engine oil and everything circulate etc.. But others say it's just wasting gas & harming the environment.. Hasta akong erpats sa una I remember he would let his pickup truck run idle (esp in the morning) before molarga and I think mao ng nadala na ni nako nga habit hantod karon.. Even ang mga mekaniko, lain2x pod ilang tubag about ani.

Please share your views and (technical) opinion on this..

Not really necessary bro pro its better to have, in my opinion we should do warm up pra macirculate ang oil, ky magasgas ang block kung pugson padagan dayon bsan wa pa nisaka ang oil. Dli dayon na maguba dha dha pro kung ihabit nmo kada adlaw,mas madali na loss comPression or makan-an ang block in the long run....

necessary jud na ang engine warm up.. 45 sec. will do.. ang kanang imung gingun nga wasting gas kai kung dugay nmu e warm up like mga 3 mins or more...

sa ako naandan kay ako man jd i warm-up.. mga 1 minute.. dn larga dayon., mao pd na tambag sa mekaniko nga ipa warm-up daw ang motor..

Mura ra gud na sa tao, mag warm-up exercise before proceeding to the main exercise.

Kung cold start, especially kanang 24hours walay dagan2x ang vehicle, imo jud na e warm up (idle run/neutral). Para maka circulate ang oil, then to prevent thermal stress sa imong engine.

a minute warm up will do... then slowly run don't rev the engine

warm up pud ko og mga 1 min. mag lain man gud ang dagan kun wala warm up labi na early morning, mag kurog ang engine sa kabugnaw.

warm up jud dapat... mailhan na nimo ug init na imong makita kay inig rev nimo response dayun ang engine... kabantay mo ug cold engine nya e rev dili kaayu mo response ang pag rev2... so dapat engine warm up usa then padagan na...1 min will do...
