Ok, my input on engine warm-up, what I always do and the condition of my engines.... case in point, Wira 1.6XLi, purchased from new, sold off at 240,000km aka about 12 years old. My warm-up habits, driving off immediately from start-up but at low rpms aka not above 2k rpms. As the water temp picks up, I also increase the rpm limits, 3k, 4k... after 15 minutes, the engine should be sufficiently warmed-up. I usually rev my engine kau kau until redline or engine-cut-off, what to do, 1.6L only and some more auto. Oh, the Wira was also my daily driver up and down Genting Highlands. Always change engine oil and oil filter around every 7,500km, give or take 500km. Been using the Castrol Magnatec. Ok, never had oil burning issues, never had to top up oil in between service and when the purchaser of my car had the timing belt changed, the mechanic was surprised there was no sludge, engine internal very clean and showed hardly any wear. Same same with my previous Saga and KE30, current CITI, SLOTH and CRAP. So I must be doing something right....<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
