The first myth about idling for warm up time is in direct contravention of my owners manual. My manula states that, the vehicle should not be driven at higher than 1200 RPM until the engine reaches normal operating temperature.
Beside the fact that this article seems to be geared toward the commercial trucking industry, not the personal owner.
If you don't mind my asking, what vehicle are you referring too? I haven't found a rpm limit in any of my owners manuals for driving before reaching full operating temperature.
