Seasonal Tips - Colder Weather

[rick3000]

I let my 986 sit for about 30 seconds after startup, and I avoid revving the engine over 3000RPM until the coolant temp is near the 180 mark. I do this year round anyway, but it is especially important as it starts to get colder.

Also, be very careful about putting your top up or down, if you have a plastic window, below 70° F without heating it up in a garage or in the sun.

Actually, if you research it, LOAD, not revs, are bad at startup. Just don't mat it when you first drive and go gently until you reach normal operating temperature.
