I don't give a schit if it's polluting the air by idling my car.

Every commercial engine I ever operated had a minimum oil temperature requirement before putting a load on the engine. In other words, you have to leave them idling until they're sufficiently warm before operating them. That is done for longevity purposes. Now firestone is saying the exact opposite but offering no justification for it at all. I'll stick with what engine manufacturers say, not some climate change propaganda piece.

Yeah, I guess we have to remember it was these climate change fanatics that led to the engines that turn off at stop lights now and start up again when you let off the brake. Our new BMW X3M40i doesn’t even allow us to disable that annoying thing unlike our Telluride which had a button to disable it. It’s annoying.
