🚗 Debunking Winter Car Warm-up Myths

The video addresses the common debate about whether or not to warm up your car in the winter. The host discusses a news article that humorously advises against warming up cars, which is traditionally a popular practice. The article is said to recommend against it, claiming it can damage the engine. Various sources such as Firestone Complete Auto Care, Smart Motors Toyota, the U.S. Department of Energy, NAPA Auto Parts, and Chuck's Auto Repair are mentioned as authorities supporting the claim that modern vehicles built after 1980 do not require warm-up before driving. The video also humorously points out that while some suggest not warming up the car to protect the engine, others might do so to protect the interior from cold.

05:03

🔍 Analyzing the Effects of Cold Weather on Engines

This paragraph delves into the mechanics of why some believe warming up a car can harm the engine. It mentions that letting a car idle in cold temperatures can supposedly strip away oil from the engine's pistons and cylinders, which are crucial for the engine's operation. The video explains that gas-powered cars need oil to stay lubricated, and that the oil pump should circulate oil within a minute of starting the car. However, the host challenges the idea that idling to warm up the cabin would strip away oil, arguing that the oil pump continuously supplies pressurized oil regardless of whether the car is idling or driving.

10:04

🔋 Electric Vehicles vs Gasoline Engines in Cold Weather

The video contrasts the advice for electric vehicles (EVs) with that for gasoline-powered vehicles. For EVs, it's suggested to warm up the car before driving to preserve battery range, as the cold can affect battery performance. The video humorously points out the disparity in advice: while EV owners are told to warm up their cars to protect the battery, gasoline vehicle owners are warned against it to protect the engine. The host then discusses the manufacturer's recommendations for warming up gasoline vehicles, specifically mentioning Subaru's advice to warm up the vehicle before driving.

15:04

⏰ Manufacturer's Recommendations on Winter Car Warm-up

The paragraph focuses on what Subaru, as a manufacturer, recommends regarding winter car warm-up. It mentions that Subaru advises warming up the vehicle before driving, as indicated by a blue temperature light that signals when the engine is cold. The video explains that during this period, the engine idles higher to warm up quickly and safely. The host also discusses the importance of warming up not just for comfort but for the mechanical well-being of the vehicle, such as ensuring that engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant reach appropriate temperatures for effective operation.

20:06

🤔 Logical Considerations for Winter Car Warm-up

In the final paragraph, the host shares a personal perspective on the logic behind warming up a car in winter. They argue that warming up the engine gradually is better for the engine than driving it immediately after starting, as this could create hot spots and stress the engine components. The video concludes with a call for viewer opinions on the matter, asking whether they warm up their cars and why, reflecting a community engagement approach to the topic.

Keywords

💡Warm-up

Warm-up refers to the practice of allowing a vehicle's engine to idle for a short period before driving, especially in cold weather, to allow the engine to reach its operating temperature. In the video, the debate over whether or not to warm up a car is central, with the host exploring various expert opinions and manufacturer recommendations. The script mentions that modern vehicles, particularly those built after 1980, do not require traditional warm-up methods due to advancements in engine technology.

💡Idling

Idling is the act of letting an engine run without applying its power, such as when a vehicle is stationary. The video discusses the potential harm of excessive idling, particularly in cold weather, as it may lead to engine damage by stripping away oil from critical engine components. The script suggests that modern engines do not benefit from prolonged idling during warm-up.

💡Engine

An engine is a machine designed to convert one form of energy into mechanical energy. In the context of the video, the engine is the heart of the vehicle, and its proper functioning is crucial. The script delves into how modern engines with fuel injection systems handle cold starts differently than older carbureted engines, affecting the necessity of warming up.

💡Lubrication

Lubrication is the process of reducing friction between moving parts by using oil or another substance. The video script mentions that letting a car idle in cold temperatures can strip away oil from the engine's pistons and cylinders, which are critical components that require lubrication to function properly and prolong their life.

💡Oil Pump

The oil pump is a mechanical device in an engine that circulates oil to lubricate and cool the engine's moving parts. The script discusses the misconception that the oil pump does not supply oil during idling, which is incorrect as it continuously supplies oil when the engine is running, regardless of whether the vehicle is idling or driving.

💡Fuel Injection

Fuel injection is a system that supplies fuel to an engine in a precise metered quantity, as opposed to carburetors. The video highlights that modern fuel-injected engines are more efficient at managing fuel mixtures in cold temperatures compared to older carbureted engines, making the traditional warm-up less necessary.

💡Carburetor

A carburetor is a device that mixes air and fuel for internal combustion engines. The script contrasts carburetors with modern fuel injection systems, noting that older vehicles with carburetors required a warm-up period to adjust the air-fuel mixture properly in cold weather, which is not the case with modern engines.

💡Emission

Emission refers to the release of pollutants into the environment. The video touches on the environmental aspect of idling, suggesting that it contributes to air pollution. However, the script also points out that both idling and driving in cold conditions result in emissions until the engine reaches closed-loop operation.

💡Electric Vehicle (EV)

An electric vehicle, or EV, is a vehicle powered by an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine. The script differentiates the warm-up practices for EVs from those of traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, noting that EVs may require pre-warming to preserve battery range and ensure comfortable cabin temperatures.

💡Block Heater

A block heater is a device used to warm up an engine, particularly in cold climates, by heating the engine block directly. The video script suggests that in extreme cold temperatures, using a block heater is beneficial for both the engine and the vehicle's fluids, ensuring they are warmed up before driving for optimal performance and protection.

💡Closed-loop

Closed-loop refers to a system, such as a vehicle's engine management system, that has feedback mechanisms to regulate its operation. In the context of the video, once the engine reaches a sufficient temperature, it enters closed-loop operation, where sensors adjust the air-fuel mixture for optimal performance and efficiency. The script implies that both idling and driving contribute to reaching this state.

Transcripts

greetings viewers welcome back to the

channel in today's video the age-old

debate that happens every single year

this time of year to warm up or not to

warm up your car before driving in the

cold today we're going to look at a news

article that I ran across the other day

on Facebook that made me laugh out loud

we're going to look at the

manufacturer's recommendations and we're

going to look at this logically and

sensibly and try to put the bed once and

for all to or not to warm up your car

before driving in the winter

[Music]

thank you

so guys it is cold and I mean it is cold

I'm literally straddling a kerosene

heater right now trying not to freeze

but we're going to start off the video

by looking at this article I saw the

other day on Facebook saying to not warm

up your car before driving in the winter

time now this was posted on ABC 10.

we're going to look at it yes warming up

your car before driving in cold weather

can damage the engine

yeah that's what they're claiming here

excessive idling does not do anything

positive for your engines long-term

Health we're going to look at this I'm

going to put it on screen I'm going to

read through it real quick and then

we're going to talk about some of the

claims they're making here on why not to

warm up your car and why it's destroying

your engine so we're going to paraphrase

and jump around a little bit I'm not

going to read this word for word I will

leave a link to this article in the

description of the video if you want to

check it out yourself so frigid

temperatures are here it's a common

practice for many drivers to warm up

their car before driving most have a

remote start feature uh but briefly

viewers want to know if they're doing

potential harm to their engine so they

went to some sources and they listed the

sources here uh Firestone Complete Auto

Care

Smart Motors Toyota in Madison Wisconsin

uh the U.S department of energy

NAPA Auto Parts and Chuck's Auto Repair

in Seattle Washington

so answer true yes warming up your car

before driving in the cold weather could

cause long-term damage to the engine

ridiculous

most Vehicles built after 1980 no longer

need to warm up before driving and

experts say driving after 30 seconds to

a minute after starting your car is the

best practice

let's find out why they think that uh

you're going to destroy your engine by

letting it warm up

it's true that warming up gas powered

vehicles before driving in cold weather

can cause damage to the engine according

to Firestone Complete Auto Care and

Smart Motors Toyota

quote if you're one of many drivers who

thinks it's important to turn on your

car let it sit for a bit before hitting

the road in wintry weather you could be

doing your engine more harm than good in

quote Firestone says

letting your car idle in cold

temperatures can shorten the life of

your engine by stripping away oil from

the engine's pistons and cylinders two

critical components that help your

engine run

gas powered cars need oil to keep their

engines lubricated

when you start the car an oil pump

circulates the oil in less than a minute

but if you let your car idle to warm up

the cabin the oil can get stripped away

because apparently the oil pump doesn't

constantly Supply pressurized oil to the

engine whether it's idling or driving

down the road or what RPM is at

keep that in mind

Chuck's Auto Repair explains quote

constantly letting a cold engine idle

can actually be counterproductive

because it gradually strips away oil

from the engine's pistons and cylinders

dot dot dot here's the problem when the

engine is cold the gas may not evaporate

completely as it combines with the air

for more recent cars with electronic

fuel injection there are sensors that

detect

this and compensate by adding more gas

to the mixture when there is excessive

fuel in the chamber some of it

condensates into onto the cylinder walls

and strips away the lubricating oil when

the lubricating oil is gone components

like the cylinder liners piston rings

will wear prematurely quote

quote again less oil means more friction

more wear and tear and a shorter life to

your engine in quote Firestone says

while some people let their cars idle to

warm up the Interiors other may actually

be trying to protect the engine because

of outdated guidance outdated guys

remember that

Firestone is Smart Motors Toyota both

say that most cars made before 1980 did

need two quote unquote warm up when it

was cold out this is because the old

cars had carburetors that regulated fuel

air mixture within the engine and could

not be adjusted for the air fuel ratio

in the cold blah blah blah

in cold temperatures carburetors blah

blah blah blah who cares

again 1980s carburetors blah blah blah

blah so instead of waiting for your car

to warm up in the winter most

manufacturers recommend driving off

gently after 30 seconds because the

engine warms up faster when the car is

being driven according to the U.S

department of energy quote this means

that your cold day driving routine

should look something like this bundle

up start the car scrape the ice off of

the window and mirrors and get in the

car and get going exclamation point in

quote Firestone says

just make sure you don't accelerate too

fast or rev your engine too much in the

first few moments you start driving in

the cold

quote this can add unwanted strain to

your bearings and flood the combustion

chamber with gas which in turn will take

miles off of your engine's life end

quote from Smart Motors Toyota now on

the flip side rules for thee but not for

me for owners of electric vehicles you

got to put EVS in here which don't have

a traditional engine the above

information doesn't apply according to

blog post on NAPA Auto Parts website

instead Napa advises EV owners to warm

up their car before they're unplugging

because it can help preserve your

battery range don't forget you got to

use all of your battery power to warm up

that cabin also your lithium batteries

suck at charging and discharging

properly in the cold among other issues

that the code plays on your electric car

quote EVS have to draw on electricity to

warm the interior if you enter a car

with a cold cabin and begin driving the

vehicle need to take from its stored

electricity to bring the inside air

temperature to a pleasant temperature

this will tax the ev's battery and leave

you with less driving range in quote

Napa says

so there you go guys us fuel injected

gas powered vehicles we can't warm our

cars up in the winter time we got 30

seconds and then we need to start

driving because we're going to destroy

our engine because

apparently the oil pump doesn't pump oil

continuously and when you idle your

engine doesn't get any oil and there's

so much of a rich fuel mixture that it's

just stripping all the oil completely

out of your engine and it's going to

seize up like a rock but if you have an

electric car don't worry let it warm up

plug it into the wall use that

electricity get yourself all nice and

toasty before you take off down the road

so let's unpack what we've read here

we're going to go over the article again

we're going to talk about Subaru what

they say in the owner's manual talk

about Subaru system and just think

logically about how the mechanics of an

internal combustion engine work and

dealing with cold weather so guys let's

unpack what we just read in that article

and uh man they're really trying to

scare some people that don't know much

about their vehicle so the first point

idling your engine cold or letting it

warm up uh the fuel is going to

completely strip the oil out of your

cylinder and it's going to cause high

friction and wear your pistons and your

cylinders more so they talk about the

oil pump providing oil to the engine

within 60 seconds of starting the engine

but then they make it seem like the oil

pump just doesn't work unless you're

driving

absolutely false the oil pump is

constantly supplying uh between 40 and

60 PSI of oil pressure

anytime the engine's running it's

mechanically linked to the engine it's

going to pop oil as long as it's running

so it doesn't matter if it's idling at a

thousand RPM or going down the road 3000

RPM is still going to blast oil

pressurized engine oil off to the

camshaft the cylinder head the rotating

assembly and the Pistons uh now what

they were talking about with the rich

mixture

fuel injected cars are way more accurate

at metering how much fuel they need to

combust compared to Old carbureted cars

that in the cold you had to choke them

and you had to worry about all kinds of

issues with getting it the Run well and

everything was mechanical and nothing

adjusted uh completely different animal

with the fuel injector car with a PCM

and the IAT sensor and all these other

sensors that precisely meter and add

just the right amount of fuel to get it

to run well and idlewale in the cold

until it warms up so it's not like the

fuel injectors are spraying 10 tons of

fuel in here which gasoline is a solvent

they're not spraying 10 tons of fuel in

there it's not washing out your

cylinders it's not washing your

cylinders out getting in the oil

diluting the oil

that's not a thing we would be seeing

lots of issues in the wintertime with

engine failures with oil dilution

um you know just all kind of things that

we don't see in the wintertime because

it's not a real issue they have taken

something in theory and blown it out of

the water so I think logically a minute

about the combustion process your piston

goes down pulls in the air fuel mixture

comes back up compresses it spark plug

fires Rams the Piston back down piston

comes back up on the exhaust rope pushes

the burnt gases out of the exhaust valve

well

if it's spraying too much fuel in there

when the Piston's coming down for the

intake charge and that air fuel mixture

is getting drawn in

when the Piston comes right back up

is still being splashed and supplied

with oil to lubricate that piston and

the cylinder it's I think they're

getting a little confused here I think

they act like this is an old carbureted

engine that just dumps fuel in like no

this is a computer controlled system

with variable inputs that monitor intake

air temperature the air fuel mixture all

this stuff and yes when you first start

you are in open loop and you have to get

closed loop when things get the

temperature but it's not as bad as they

make it sound on this article that I

think they're trying to scare people a

little bit here so that seems to be

their main argument that you're going to

strip away all the oil and the lubricity

for your piston and your cylinder by

letting your engine idle to warm up now

what is the difference between letting

it idle to warm up and driving it down

the road that air fuel mixture is going

to be just as Rich whether you were

driving down the road or idling cold

before you reach closed loop status

so what's the point here I don't

understand exactly where they're going

with this because the oil pump is

providing pressurized engine oil all

throughout the engine no matter what RPM

it's running at as long as it's running

and that rich fuel mixture that's

stripping away all the oil in your

cylinders is going to happen whether you

are idling the engine or driving the

engine while it is cold and not to close

loop status so

non-issue completely here so that's the

first thing I guess the second thing is

uh they're trying to reach out

environmentally and worried about

pollution and you know letting it idle

but it doesn't matter if it idles cold

to warm up or if you drive it cold to

warm up it's still going to be an open

loop until it reaches closed loop when

it gets to a desirable sufficiently warm

temperature so again if it's a minute or

seconds difference between it idling to

the sufficient temperature or driving to

that sufficient temperature is minimal

so again not really an issue so it is

funny that they mention for the EV

owners that hey keep plugged up warm

your car up till it's nice and toasty

and feels good inside before you drive

off make sure you don't use any of your

precious electrical Reserve out of your

battery to make yourself comfortable but

you gasoline-powered Vehicles no no no

you get the freeze and see your breath

as you drive down the road you don't let

the car warm up you don't get to defrost

your windows yes you took the ice off

but uh the cotton sensation fogged up

Windows no you don't get to sit there

until they defog where you can drive

safely and see because you're polluting

and damaging your engine you don't get

to be warm and toasty when you drive off

you better hope you have heated seats in

the heated steering wheel because you're

going to be freezing otherwise so that

in itself is ridiculous the way they

phrase that about the electric vehicle

versus the gasoline vehicle

electric vehicles are just not good in

the cold the batteries don't like the

cold they don't like to take a charge in

the cold they don't like to maintain

their charge in a cold and they

discharge not the way they should in the

cold there are lots of issues with these

electric cars when it comes to the cold

but that's not what we're here to talk

about but what does the manufacturer

actually State what does Subaru tell you

to do about your vehicle do you need to

warm it up and the answer is yes Subaru

wants you to warm up your vehicle before

driving if you've jumped into modern

Subaru let's say 2011 2012 model year or

newer you've started the car up and most

likely seen the little blue temperature

light so think about it for a minute

when that blue light comes on when you

first start your Subaru code your RPM

shoot up to about 1800 maybe 2000 RPM

and they hold there your engine's not

just idling at 600 800 RPM your engine

is idled up so it warms up faster that's

when the blue light is on you are high

idling warming up the engine in quickly

but safely and Subaru states that when

this RPM is high and the blue light is

on to leave the car in park or in

neutral with the parking brake on if you

have a manual transmission

you shouldn't be driving it while it's

in its warm-up procedure until it

sufficiently has warmed as they stay so

there you go so in the article again I

don't understand the whole idling the

car is bad for it most modern fuel

injected cars have a high idle while the

engine is cold and the RPMs will drop

once it is sufficiently warm so it's not

really a big deal between letting it

idle or driving down the road because

it's still idling up to warm itself up

faster than if it was just sitting there

idling as the engine idles when it's

already up the temperature which is

normally between 500 and 800 to 1000 RPM

depending on the engine make and

manufacturer now that blue temperature

light is an indicator of your engine

being cold that light will turn off when

the engine reaches a sufficient level of

warmth it says at in the owner's mail

that your engine should be warmed up

that the blue light will go off when the

engine is warmed sufficiently and that

you should not drive until the car is

that that sufficient temperature in the

section of the owner's manual talking

about winter driving it actually says

that while you are warming up your car

after you've removed any icer scrape the

windshields to check free movement of

your brake pedal gas pedal all of that

stuff before setting out so again in the

owner's manual it says before driving

and while you are warming up your car so

Subaru does want you to warm up your car

before driving so aside for the selfish

reason of our own personal Comfort why

should we warm up our cars and it comes

down to the mechanical side of it now

with your engine your fluids need to be

warm need to be warmed up before they

start flowing well and protecting and

doing what they should now that's more

so in line for people that see like

severe negative temperatures rather than

if it's like 32 degrees outside your oil

should flow as it should at that

temperature when you get down negatives

uh like teens and 20 is negatives that's

when you have some serious issues and

you should be running a block heater but

you want your oils and your transmission

fluid all that stuff to warm up before

you start driving you want your engine

coolant to reach about 100 to 120

degrees Fahrenheit before driving uh

it's just a good area that's

sufficiently warmed up before you start

driving down the road and another thing

with the warming up the engine it comes

down to your mail allergy your engine

block your Pistons your crankshaft your

cylinder heads all of this stuff expands

and contracts with temperatures so you

want to gradually get them up to a

stable temperature of about 120 degrees

before you start driving off so where is

the most of the heat in your engine

especially cold when you first started

up is in the combustion chamber if you

let it run for 30 seconds and start

gunning it down the road you're going to

put hot spots in the cylinder heads the

cylinder heads are going to heat up

faster than the block faster than the

crankshaft the rotating assembly

especially in a box or engine you want

to let it all warm up gradually and

together again 120 degrees Fahrenheit is

where you want to get minimum-ish right

around there before you start driving so

with a Subaru it's not as big of a deal

because your engine block and your

cylinder heads are aluminum and they'll

both expand and contract relatively at

the same rates and same amount but think

about this for a minute like in my

Duramax diesel engine I have a cast iron

engine block and I have aluminum

cylinder heads that cast iron reacts

differently than the aluminum to thermal

expansion and contraction so it's

actually more prudent that warm up my

diesel engine before I warm up my Subaru

engine because the Subaru engine has

aluminum heads and aluminum block and

they're going to basically react the

same way to temperature variants whereas

that Duramax Diesel with a cast iron

block and aluminum heads both of those

dissimilar metals are going to react

slightly differently to temperature

changes so again getting everything

acclimated slowly as the temperature

rises is better than just jumping in and

forcing a lot of hot spots in around the

cylinder heads and the Pistons and uh

you know just not great for the car so

the whole uh don't let your car idle to

warm up because you're stripping away

oil and going to destroy your engine

compared to let it warm up for 30

seconds and then run down the road and

put hot spots in your combustion

Chambers your cylinder heads and not let

the whole engine acclimate to the

temperature change slowly uh you know

that's perfectly fine so again weird

thinking weird logic in that article and

the experts that chimed in on it very

odd but again I'm no engineer so maybe I

don't know what the hell I'm talking

about maybe they got it right and I got

it wrong but just thinking logically or

at least my logical definition of

thinking it seems that warming up your

engine before driving is better for the

engine than letting it run for 30

seconds to a minute and end up going off

down the road but that's just my opinion

so guys what do you think let me know in

the comments below do you let your

engine warm up do you not let your

engine warm up why do you or why don't

you do you think it's dumb to let it

warm up let me know in the comments

below do you think it's dumb not to let

it warm up let me know in the comments

below thank you guys all so much for

watching hope you enjoyed the video I am

about to go into the house and get

warmed up because I am freezing out here

I'm sure you've probably seen my breath

uh this video will probably go up on

Saturday or Sunday Sunday being

Christmas day Saturday being Christmas

Eve so merry Christmas happy holidays to

all of you thank you all for the views

for 2022 and I will see you all in the

next video
