The Modern Way to Warm Up Your Car

The most effective way to warm up your modern engine without wasting fuel

Stop Idling, Start Moving

Many drivers believe they need to let their car idle for several minutes to warm up the engine. But modern engines warm up much faster when the car is actually moving.

Idling wastes fuel, increases emissions, and doesn’t heat the engine efficiently. Gentle driving for the first few minutes is the safest and most effective way to warm up your car.

3 Steps for Best Results

• Start the engine and wait 10–20 seconds
• Drive gently until the temperature stabilizes
• Save your engine—and your wallet

A small adjustment in your morning routine will keep your car running smoothly and efficiently.
