My family\u2019s cars were just driven normally without any thought, and I\u2019d never been in a car with an oil temperature gauge, so when a Porsche came to our home, it was the first time I realized, <strong>\u201cOwning a sports car requires all kinds of special care.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, I asked my husband about warming up, and he said, <strong>\u201cFollowing German automotive design philosophy, I don\u2019t warm up by idling; I immediately start driving slowly to warm up the engine, transmission, and moving parts together.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"well3\">For environmental reasons, <strong>idling to warm up is prohibited in Germany and similar countries.<\/strong> Also, <strong>you have to warm up the PDK, gearbox, and other moving parts along with the engine.<\/strong> If you warm up only the engine and start driving while the moving parts are still cold, it\u2019s not good for the car. I do this with both air-cooled Porsches (964) and water-cooled ones. In fact, Porsche\u2019s owner manuals say <strong>not to warm up by idling.<\/strong> Once you start driving, it\u2019s best to go slowly at 2000\u20133000 rpm. I avoid medium to high revs for a while, but with the Boxster (981 GTS), the oil temperature takes a long time to rise\u2014about 20 minutes. The GT3 doesn\u2019t have that issue, though.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what he said.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20159\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_9083.jpg\" alt=\"Front view of Porsche 911 GT3\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p>He continued,<\/p>\n<p class=\"well3\">Well, if you really want to warm up the engine by idling for a bit&#8230; <strong>after about a minute from starting the engine, the rpm settles and drops to below 1000.<\/strong> Starting to drive around that time might be best. During that minute, you can adjust your seat, buckle your seatbelt, or connect your phone, so that should be enough.<\/p>\n<p>I asked, <strong>\u201cIs warming up different for the GT3 race car compared to regular models?\u201d<\/strong> and he replied,<\/p>\n<p class=\"well3\"><strong>The GT3 has a racing engine, so it\u2019s more sensitive than regular models.<\/strong> Since it revs up to 9000 rpm, you absolutely must not rev it high until the engine, moving parts, and pistons have warmed up and expanded to their designed size. That\u2019s why the GT3 has a <strong>blue engine light on the dashboard,<\/strong> and while that light is on, you must not exceed 4000 rpm. When the water temperature light goes off, that\u2019s your signal that it\u2019s okay to rev higher.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_9804.jpg\" alt=\"Oil temperature gauge of Porsche 911 GT3\" width=\"1200\" height=\"674\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\">Porsche Owner\u2019s Manuals<\/h3>\n<p>Since my husband said the owner\u2019s manuals cover warming up, I checked them, and sure enough, they say this:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo not warm up the vehicle while stationary; start driving immediately.
