    Default How long is recommended to let your car warm up in winter?

    I usually always let it go for 30 seconds minimum. But what is the recommended time?

    Depends on Cars .. for newer cars, 15 to 30 seconds is what I do, and then drive it slowly ....

    My car manual says ~1 minute is sufficient in any weather, but i usually let it warm for longer, espeically when it's -15 out or colder
