How Long Do You Warm Up Your Car For?

Usually I allow ten to fifteen minutes for my car to warm up, but with these cold temps we've had the last two days I start it about 20-30 minutes before I leave the house. No fear tho for me, back to my ten to fifteen. We ahve a heatwave coming and will be back into the 20's and 30's soon.

usually I let it warm up for about 10 mins, but lately it has been about -17 degrees out so I have let it warm up a lot longer! Maybe a half hour. And it is still cold when I go out there.

I normally let mine warm up for about 5-10 minutes when it is really cold out. If it is not below freezing then I usually do not bother warming it up. It was 3 degrees out this morning though, so when I go out later I will be warming up the car.

I let it go for about 15-20 minutes. If it's below zero- usually a half an hour. I hate the cold.

yes, i do let my car warm up for a little while when it's cold.

Normally my car warms up for as long as it takes my to clean off my car or scrape my windows, so maybe 5 minutes or so. I am not a car expert by any means, bt I once read an article in the newpaper by the "car guys" that actually said that it's not good to let your car just sit there idleing. I forget what their reasoning was, but I think it was actually tougher on the engine than if you just hop in and drive away.

I warm up the car for about 15 minutes or however long it takes for the car to heat up inside. sometimes I leave it running longer if there is snow or ice on the windows.

I get scolded by my dad all the time because I seldom warm up my care. My dad place a lot of importance in these routine which I seldom do because I could just use the car straightaway and always forget about warming it up first because sometimes I am really rushing.

I live in Florida so I don't usually have to warm up my car. But these last few days have been down into the 30's and 20's so I need to warm it up before I go anywhere. Usually about 10 minutes is enough for me.

10 mins seem like the norm. I tend to warm up my car while finishing getting dressed and such then I go on my merry way.
