LONGEVITY TIPS

• Do not let your car idle for a long time after starting the engine. The engine reaches operating temperature faster if the car is put under load, i.e., driven. Also, lubricants become effective more quickly and engine wear is minimized.
• Do not race ("rev") your engine after starting the car. Engine wear is greatest when the oil has not been warmed. Racing the engine is particularly harmful in cold weather.
• If the engine diesels after being shut off, prevent engine damage in the future by keeping the transmission engaged in gear while turning off the ignition. The additional drag on the engine will eliminate the diesel action.
