Hi,

That's true, but letting it idle is the worst thing for it. Both the Coolant and the Oil Pumps are Crank Speed dependent. At idle, they're not flowing very well at all. Excessive idling kills most engines because of this. Better to shut it down and then start it before your next runs and give it partial throttle to get the Oil and Coolant really flowing...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
