Major General 5494 Rep 5,340 Posts | Oil temp is the most critical thing you should be worried about when it comes to engine longevity. Pay absolutely no attention to coolant temp as coolant warms up much quicker. Oil takes much longer to warm up and needs to be at 180 degrees before romping on it. Per my Torque app, a stone N55 in 60 degree weather takes about 8-10 minutes of driving to get to 180 degrees. On a 40 degree day and a cold motor, you're looking at nearly 15 minutes. On a 20 degree day, it takes a LONG time. Last year I drove 12 miles, highway and city, and my oil temp didn't get above 170 degrees on a 20 degree day. If the motor is warm and/or it's summer, the oil will warm up rapidly. Point is, if you want to go heavy throttle, the oil must be up to temp. Also, heavy throttle also includes going 1/2 throttle at low rpms (sub 2500rpms) and in a tall gear (4th and above). This is called heavy load and spools up the turbo quickly and is hell on the crank and rod bearings. The oil needs to be up to temp to create the most protective film strength. As for when to start driving, start the engine and let it idle for 10 to 30 seconds (the longer idle for really cold days) and then start driving moderately. |

FAQs
Is it really necessary to warm-up? ›
Warming up before any workout or sport is critical for preventing injury and prepping your body. Warming up, such as low-heart rate cardio, prepares the circulatory and respiratory system for the upcoming 'age- and type-appropriate target heart rate' exercising. The cool-down is just as critical.
What are 3 important reasons for warming up? ›- Your body temperature increases.
- Blood vessels, including tiny capillaries, open up, increasing blood supply to the muscles.
- The blood releases more oxygen that you will need for your workout.
- Your muscles contract more easily as they become warmer.
- Your joints loosen up.
- Your brain engages with the body.
Warming up prevents injuries by loosening your joints, and improving blood flow to your muscles — making your muscles less likely to rip, tear, or twist in a harmful way during your workout.
What is a warm-up answer? ›A warm-up is a short activity or exercise undertaken prior to a more intensive exercise or activity. A warm-up is intended to prepare the body for movement, including exercise, sport, dance, and stretching.
Is it okay to skip warmup? ›One of the most immediate and critical effects of skipping the warm-up is the increased risk of injury. A proper warm-up gradually increases your heart rate, blood flow, and muscle temperature, which helps to prepare your body for more strenuous exercise.
Is it bad to skip warm-up? ›Not warming up or stretching properly can lead to overexertion of muscles. Pushing yourself too hard physically “can cause inflammation, leading to pain and discomfort. If it is not addressed, overexertion can lead to tearing or overstretching in muscles, tendons, and ligaments,” say doctors.
What are 5 benefits of warming up? ›Aerobic capacity is boosted, muscle coordination is improved, the body adapts to weather conditions and there is a positive attitude towards exercising. It has been observed that through warming up our body temperature is likely to increase up to 2C degrees.
What are benefits of warm-up? ›Warming up helps get the body ready for aerobic activity. A warmup slowly warms up the heart and blood vessel, also called cardiovascular, system. It does this by raising the body temperature and increasing blood flow to muscles. When you warm up, it also may help lower muscle soreness and lessen injury risk.
Why is warming up important mentally? ›The mental warmup can serve as a stress-reducing intervention, reducing a key barrier to exercise behavior and providing the opportunity for exercisers to reap the additional stress-reducing benefits of exercise itself [28].
What is the most important part of a warm-up? ›The aim of the general warm-up is simply to elevate the heart rate and respiratory rate. This in turn increases the blood flow and helps with the transportation of oxygen and nutrients to the working muscles. This also helps to increase the muscle temperature, allowing for a more effective static stretch.
What is a short sentence for warm-up? ›
He waited for his car to warm up. We spent a frustrating five minutes while the pilot warmed up the engines. They would always come out and warm up the audience. The crowd began to warm up.
Why is it important to warm-up before exercising and give an example of warm-up activity? ›Warming up your muscles before your workout helps your muscles adjust to the exercises that you'll be doing, and it's a great way to slowly increase your heart rate. Your warm-up could include taking a brisk walk or bike ride or simply marching or jogging in place, or doing some jumping jacks for one to three minutes.
What are the 3 types of warm-up? ›- Cardio Warm Ups. Cardio warm ups quickly raise your body temperature and get your blood flowing.
- Dynamic Movement. ...
- Static stretches.
- Increasing heart rate to prepare the body for exercise or physical activity.
- Increasing the circulation of blood flow, which increases the delivery of oxygen to the working muscles.
- Ensuring muscles are supple and pliable, improving flexibility.
The warm up helps children prepare their muscles for playing games, while the cool down relaxes muscles and gives the kids time to calm down before moving onto other activities. Warm ups should take place in a large, cleared space. It can be inside or out, depending on what space is available to you.
What are 3 ways to warm-up? ›Jog, bike, or do some other form of cardio for 5-10 minutes. You need to slowly work your muscles up to full speed. When warming up, you should run in place, use the stationary bike, or find some other simple cardio machine to get moving. Use "altered runs," like high knees, to target specific muscles while warming up.
