Garage
Warm Down Procedure - Smoking or Non-Smoking

We all know, or should, how to properly warm up our vehicles. My concern is when we are done, and parking it in the garage. What is the WARM DOWN PROCEDURE?

Maybe some of you older members can chime in. Talking it over with the North Texas Boxster founder and he said I should ask…

We have experienced similar observations in that if you let the Boxster "idle down" for a minute or more, same as with a turbo-charged vehicle-not ours, you get smoke when you start up. However, when you let it "idle down" for less than 15 seconds and just turn it off, you do not get smoke.

So SMOKING or NON-SMOKING?
What is the proper WARM DOWN PROCEDURE FOR A BOXSTER?
How long should you let it idle?

We are trying to accomplish two things:
1). Warm down vehicle enough to provide as much oil on next startup as possible and/or least amount of wear, and;
2). Does not cause it to smoke upon next startup. Unless we find out, in this case, smoking is good. i know they are supposed to smoke a little….but should we encourage it?

Your opinion is welcome.
