It is starting to get a bit chilly up here and I was wondering how long I should technically let the car warm-up before driving? I am sure that there is a recommended lenghts of time and an actually lenght of time that people are doing it. So, lets hear it...how long?

As you can see from the responses, it depends a lot on where you live.The colder climates require/need a little more warm up time to warm up the oil enough then drive it easy til up to temp. In the cold days here, you will need a bit more warm up time to defrost your windows enogh to see, extremely cold days that could be 5 minutes plus. it is a good idea to check what oil you are using, go thinner when cold weather is expected will help more than you think. I like the castol 5w50 synthetic, good all year round, use it in all my cars. No I'm not a Castrol rep!!
