err.... Year 2024 coming....
just start n drive ..... once you exited ur housing area/multilevel carpark...
the car is ready for speed.

Some say need to warm up

Some say no need, but drive from lower gear

Just sit inside warm up for awhile, nothing to lose

I drive Axia since 6 years ago.

I will wait until the blue light goes off, then I move.

I don't wait longer. But sometimes if I have extra time, I wait longer.

TS ur car engine and gearbox both have ideal/normal operating temperature .

The faster the you achieve it the better so start and drive slowly until the reach the ideal temperature then drive normally.

Idling take longer time to achieve the ideal temp and will increase wear and tear, not reduce it.

Better use high quality gearbox oil and change more frequently if you concern about the longevity of the gearbox and this goes for the filter too.

modern cars got very powderful oil pump as design. Just a second or 2 for the engine oil to move thru the oil alleys and start lubricating even the most hidden nooks even when engine has been left to cool down overnight.

Why on earth do you want to wait more than 2mins before moving. Even my 90s wira can see engine oil start flowing at tappet/valve cover area almost instantenously, and this is using 15W40. Yours with 5W20/5W30 is even faster.

Stop wasting fuel already, and more reason so when govt is going to stop rebate on petrol/diesel.

easy, start your car, while u put seatbelt and etc, u can drive already.

after that, watch your temp bar or icon, while it still showing cold, don't push it hard, drive normally < this will help to warm it up faster.

If you notice, when start your car, RPM will be around 1500.
If you engage say Reverse, the RPM will immediately drop to around 1000.
I think the car does this to protect the transmission already.
So don't really need to wait till RPM drop to below 1000 to engage gear.

Let's apply some logic here ya

You sit there warm up engine without moving, do you think the transmission gets to warm up too?

So if you want to warm up the gearbox, aren't you supposed to move the car?
