Living in South Central PA, every year I deal with months of warming up engines in freezing temperatures.
Ive always started the "vehicle" (this instance the t4r w/ the 5vz-fe) and let it run until the temp gauge has moved significantly and the idle has settled. THEN, I take off.
Ive been told that engines warm up BETTER under mild load, ie driving conservatively.
-Is this True?
-How do you warm up your 4runner Or whatever else?
The Major Question:
-Is there a common procedure in which the 5vz-fe should be warmed up???
