Well my fuel injected truck makes some funny noises when it is below 10 degrees F until it warms up a bit.
Well, maybe it’s because it’s a Pontiac.
You should hear the Cummins in the Ram when it is started at 33 degrees below. Sounds fairly “agricultural”. I give it idle time to heat up the lube oil, and turbo. F the environment.
90% of wear occurs during a cold engine start-up. That’s the whole point of using the lowest viscosity oil practical, and allowing time for every point to purge air. Also, the top end components close tolerances as they reach running temperature. A 60 second allowance before shifting into gear will pay future dividends.
