Cold Engine and Gear Shifting
Now, I know that the car won't shift to 3rd gear when it's cold. From what I can tell, the engine is trying to get hot as fast as possible, because it operates more efficiently that way.... But, wouldn't higher RPM's in a cold engine cause more wear and damage on the engine? Isn't the oil, like, not warm enough yet for faster speeds? I know the car was designed with this in mind, but I'm just trying to make sense of this.
![]() For some reason, I always feel like I am abusing it when I turn it on, and get on a speedy road really quick while it's still warming up. |
