The proper way to warm up your Porsche

Warming Up Your Porsche
I recently received this question on Twitter.
I would like to know about warming up, including the GTS... I feel that the idle stabilizes when the water temp gauge reaches about 70 degrees Celsius in the middle after about 20 minutes? I try to start running after that...but I don't have a clear idea of how to do it, and it is still a trial and error process.
He said.
When I was not interested in cars, I had no idea about the concept of warming up a car. I had never driven a car that displayed an oil temperature gauge, so when the Porsche arrived at our house, I thought, "I'm not going to warm up my Porsche.I guess there are a lot of considerations that go into driving a sports car.I learned that "the
So I asked my husband about warming up.Following the design philosophy of German cars, my husband does not warm up the engine by idling it, but instead warms up the engine, transmission, and moving parts by running the car slowly and immediately.He said, "I'm sorry.
For environmental reasons, theIn Germany and other countries, warming up at idle is not allowed.I'm not sure. Also.The engine, PDK, gearbox, oil, and other moving parts must be warmed up at the same time.I think it's not good for the car to start running. I don't think it's good for the car if you just heat up the engine and start running when the moving parts aren't warm at all.
I do this with both my air-cooled Porsche (964) and my water-cooled Porsche. In fact, the owner's manual that Porsche puts out says, "Do not warm up at idle.It says, "I'm not going to be able to do it.
Once it starts running, I think it's a good idea to run it slowly at 2000-3000 rpm. I run slowly for a while so as not to rev mid to high RPMs, but it takes about 20 minutes to get the oil temperature up on my Boxster (981GTS), which is hard to do.
He said.
Go on.
Well, if you really want to idle it for a while to warm up the engine...After a minute or so of starting the engine, the RPMs will settle down and drop a bit to about 1000 RPMs or less.I think it's a good idea to start running around that time. I think it's a good idea to start running about that time. During that time, if you adjust the seat, put on the seatbelt, or connect your phone, a minute or so will pass, so I think that's enough time.
He said, "I am very happy to be here. ."Regarding warming up, is the GT3, being a race car, any different than a regular model?I asked.
GT3 is a racing engine, so it is more severe than normal models.The GT3 revs up to 9,000 RPM, so you should never rev it at high RPM until the engine is warmed up and the moving parts and pistons are also warmed up and expanded to their designed size.
So, for GT3.There's a blue engine light on the meter.But while the light is on, the engine should not be revved above 4000 rpm. When the water temperature light goes out, it is a sign that the engine can be revved from that point on.
Porsche Vehicle Owner's Manual
My husband said that the warming up was written in the owner's manual, so I checked and this is what it said as well.
Do not attempt to warm up the engine while the vehicle is stationary; start the vehicle immediately. However, until the engine reaches normal operating temperature, operate the throttle sparingly and take care not to raise the engine speed too high."

Look.It's all in the owner's manual.I try to read it thoroughly before I deliver the car. I try to read everything before delivery, but if you have a problem or want to know what to do in such a case, first look at the user's manual, which describes everything.
I see.... I see.... I'm not at all familiar with the Cayenne I have at home right now, partly because it is an E-Hybrid, so I think I'll read up on it here and there.

Warm-up story
...I didn't know (sweat)
And I can't believe it was properly written in the instruction manual...
I am ashamed of myself for thinking of installing a remote engine starter!
I learned something important this morning.
Thank you.

No, sir, not at all! Thank you very much!
I haven't read much of the manual either, so I'll take this opportunity to read it thoroughly ^^.
I learned a lot.
I warmed it up until the RPMs dropped and drove it at low RPMs until the oil temperature reached 70 degrees, then I didn't worry about the rest.
Well, I hear it's still good...

Thank you!
Everyone seems to be warming up in their own way ^^.
I haven't been paying much attention, so I'll be watching my oil and water temps from now on too!

Hello!
My 987 Boxster has a lot to say about its engine.
I warm up every time (>_<)
Still, as soon as the rpm drops below 1000, the car starts.
Then I guess it's a matter of running slowly until the right temperature is reached.
I think a lot about warming up...

Hello!

>Warm up every time (>_<) そうなんですね！きっとそのクルマの状態によっても違うでしょうし、 暖機と一言でいっても色々奥が深そうです…！
Hi Mina.
European cars have been designed (set?) not to warm up for environmental reasons for about 20 years. The warm-up operation is not used in European cars.
Personally, I let it idle until the oil turns, then start it, wait for the hot water temperature to rise, and then rev it up.
In the case of the M, the tachometer shows how far you can turn it until the engine warms up.
In case you are wondering, it seems that you have met your husband's admirer (^_^)
One of my friends was there with me.

Hello, thank you for your continued support.
>European cars have been designed (set?) not to warm up for environmental reasons for about 20 years now. The warm-up operation is not used for environmental reasons.
So it's been set up that way for that long...!
>In case you are wondering, it seems that you have met the man of your husband's dreams.
That's right! I think we finally met and had our picture taken the other day!
I see you know someone who knows someone! The world is a small place.
I think my husband will write another article ^^.
Thank you very much.
Thanks, as always, for your delightful blog!
Warming up, this is also often talked about.
Water-cooled models do not need careful warm-up operation, but air-cooled Porsches should do it.
The engine is warmed up and the clearances of each part are taken care of, so it is best to avoid putting a load on it when it is cold.
Some journalists and others say it is unnecessary, but I am of the opinion that it is necessary (laugh).
I have owned our 930 for about 29 years, almost 260,000 km, and the engine is in great shape with no overhaul.
We try not to push the engine too hard, but I think the fact that we have been warming it up properly is also a factor in its good condition.
Only those who have owned the car for a long time and driven it for a long distance as an owner can understand this area;

Thank you so much for everything you do for us!
>I think you should do it for your air-cooled Porsche. Because my 930 is almost 260,000 km after 29 years of ownership, and the engine is in great shape with no overhaul.
I see!!! That's amazing...! Almost 260,000 km, and the car has been manufactured for decades without overhaul...!
It is important to take good care of your car on a regular basis...!
I thought that Hiropon-san's 930 is a happy one. I would be very happy if I could see your car again in Ashiari and other places.
