It’s always been said that you have to warm up your car, otherwise it causes damage and increases wear and tear. What are the specific benefits from warming up your car? What damage occurs when you don’t? Do some cars need to warm up longer than others?
@j-m: So a car’s temp warms up faster by idling - not driving?

What is the difference between automotive and Marine thermostats ?

2. Why is the temp range so important in this marine application
