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.
