I live in central Canada, and temperatures reach as low as -30C. Just this week, it’ll be -20C overnight and I always park my car outside. From what people have told me I should idle for 10 minutes when it’s extremely cold, and then drive off. What should I really be doing?
Turn car on, clear it of snow, buckle up and drive. I’m in canada as well, my vehicle is 11 years old now and that’s all I do.
Doesn’t take long for vehicles to circulate the fluids, there’s even been studies done showing that you don’t need to wait more than turning your car on and buckling up before driving.
