If you have a car, do you let it warm up for...

A minute or two? ( before using it) I was always under the impression to do that, hot or cold temps outside, to give engine a moment to run. Then once my friend did it too..she said, Im just giving it a minute to warm up ( her dad is a mechanic). But I see many just start it and go in one second. 🤔

Usually warming up makes sense. The fluids move about and revving a cold engine could do more harm.

Vehicles with turbos specifically require a warm-up for the turbos and when you turn the car off, you need to let it idle for a minute or so before.
