1 year agoPeople here seem to think that running our vehicles 10 mins only in the morning at these temps is the same as a pipeliner running his truck all day and night to have a warm space to go to, or to keep the def tank warm. It’s not like we rack up 20k engine hours for every 200k miles this way. It’s barely noticeable on the hour meter when compared to the mileage. At -30c, I like to make sure everything is warmed up and circulated a bit.
And I bet you also haven’t had issues doing it this way either. Vehicle is warm, hydraulics and components are warm, and most importantly you can see out your windows!
