This article is BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is never good to stress the engine before the oil warms up and the engine is being lubricated properly. When the engine is idling with no load then those stresses are at their minimum. This has been a known fact since the invention of the internal combustion engine. Now a bunch of know nothings with a political agenda are trying to redefine the known laws of science. It also not a good idea to drive around with ICE and frost on your windows. Scraping the windows damages the glass and does not clear them well. Modern ice scrapers break the first time you use them anyways. Cold drivers are also more likely to make mistakes as they shiver.

Makes perfect sense to me. I guess we add this to the long list of Climate change fanatic lies.

Truth.

Scraping the windows damages the glass and does not clear them well.

You're not doing it right.

False.

Cold drivers are also more likely to make mistakes as they shiver.

Do you live in Florida? That's absurd.

When it’s really cold I remote start it and wait 3 minutes while it warms up as I finish my coffee.
