Hi guys, as per title above, is it okay to on my aircon the moment I start my car cold, like first start of the day before I head off to work. I know it might be a dumb question to ask, just that some folks at home have told me not to immediately on A/C when you start your engine, which assumingly, they're referring to parasitic load on the engine I guess...

By folks I presume you are refering to 'old' folks who may be driving cars in 70's and 80's with after-market (reciprocating pistons) air-cond system?

The 'rule' doesn't quite apply to factory-installed (rotary) air-conds for the past 3 decades (or so) I suppose.

@zeng, Yeah old folks at home, y'know la, parents, grandparents, aunty and uncles.

Bro, they were absolutely right in what they said and they were truthful to you.

I would have said what they said too ....... for that was the golden truth/relevance then.

May be I'm a bit more keeping abreast with evolution of car air-cond 'technology' (and I'm currently fallling behind already) compared to your folks.
