Warming your car up before driving
#4
I wait till high idle drops,... Maybe 45 seconds tops,...then drive easy until oil temp needle moves up...

The manual specifically says not to idle the car for long, even if its cold weather. So I think the best practice would be to not drive hard until the temp is up to normal operating range - maybe keep it under 4k rpm. I have never let the car sit idling - never in my '86 3.2, never in my 996 and, never in my 997.

Glad others are chiming in with some of the same questions I wanted to ask.
So you 997.2 guys...is there some sort of air pump system that's feeding the intake or something on cold start up? I have the fabspeed x pipe and open PSE on my car and it sounds like a mild cup car on start up! :-)) Not so much of a high idle sound (which it is doing) but more of a throaty raspy sound. Just wondered if it was normal?
BTW...that's what I've been doing per the previous owners...start it up, idle down, take off and keep it below 3k or so until I see temperatures going up. I don't ever run it real hard until I see 175 or more on the oil temp.

Yup. I commute by ferry to work, so I only use the car on weekends mostly. I usually have the time to let it warm up a little. I think it only takes 3 minutes (never timed it) maybe for the idle to drop.
