I was browsing another forum the other day and came up to some thing that i thought was just nonesence. But then again, thinking of how things apply differently (or sometimes not at all) on our cars i decided to ask.
What i read is that supposedly if you let ur car idle for too long it will affect the longevity of your engine and prematurely 'provoke blow-by.' Like i said, i thought this was junk as in my understanding it is to the best interest of your car to warm it up at idle (w/o revving the engine) until it reaches operating temperature and this will increase the life of your engine. in this forum some guy went ahead and said something to the extent of "if you ask any good mechanic, it will tell you this". so what u guys think?
