No warm up?

[Benitom]

I don't know how to shift in my 98 Boxster when it's cold. Car jerks - I can never cold shift unless I rev high.

.......drive off immediately after start and just keep the revs below 3,000 RPM until the oil temperature comes up to normal.

If you have trouble shifting, double clutch. Google it.

The reason to drive off is because you will get fuel wash by the rings into your oil supply if she idles while cold. This contaminates the oil which leads to premature engine failure.

Ever see the movie "LeMans"? Watch the start of the race.

Good luck.

I get in the car and fire it up. Then I put on the seatbelt and double check the mirrors. Then I drive off only revving to 4k or so until I see the temp coming up. Modern engines run so much cleaner and modern oils flow so much better than in the past.

Of course Mfg suggest start and drive, helps MPG figures.
This subject has gone the rounds before and I have changed back to my original old style. At least let the coolant get to 100 F before driving.
My rational: So many different materials and different expansions rates.
I treat my machine like I treat myself - The older I get the more I need warming up before I can move

I usually have my 02 remain idle for a minute until the secondary air injection shuts off. Have I been living a lie?
