You might have heard this advice countless times, maybe even from your father. “Please warm up your car before driving”. While it sounds logical to do so, like our bodies before we do sports. Or maybe it even applies to older generation vehicles.

But does this rule actually apply to modern-day cars?

The Truth!

do not warm up your car

The truth is that thanks to the fuel injection system, we don’t need to listen to our father’s advice (only in this matter, though). There is no longer any need to warm up your car’s engine before driving away, guys and gals!

On the other hand, Carburettors might need some warming up in the past. Until the early 1990s, automobiles were controlled by a carburettor.

The carburettor is in charge of ensuring that the correct proportions of gasoline and air are injected into the engine’s cylinders.

Carburettors have a throttle that opens and closes, letting more or less air into the engine or cylinder as desired. A tiny hole known as a venturi is used to transport this air. Thus allowing the machine to function without interruption.

What we use today

Today, fuel injectors replace carburettors because they use less gasoline and don’t need to warm up.

Electronic fuel injection systems is common in automobiles worldwide today. The fuel injection systems’ calibration allows for the perfect combustible mixture at all temperatures and normal throttle response at all times.

This means that modern-day fuel injection technology automatically adjusts distribution at any temperature. And typical, thinner synthetic oils lubricates your engine much more quickly because they’re lighter than conventional oils.

In contrast to carburettors, the fuel injection system can accurately calibrate how much gasoline is necessary at a given temperature. It is common knowledge that the computer in your car’s engine allows more fuel to enter the engine when it is cold. During warm-up, the injectors allow less fuel into the engine.

What if I like to warm up my car anyway?

Instead of warming up your engine by running it, idling does more harm.

The most efficient operation of engines is when they operate within their ideal operating temperature range. Running a cold engine increases carbon dioxide emissions and wear on the engine. Make sure to remember that idling the engine does not generate much heat. Hence, the automobile remains chilly for a lengthy period.

Slowly drive away from your house for a few minutes to warm up your automobile, especially if it’s pouring or freezing outside.

Idling takes a long time to warm up your car before driving off, but this is considerably quicker. Don’t overwork the engine in the initial few minutes or risk stalling the vehicle.

On the other hand, this doesn’t imply that you should drive straight over it. On the contrary, as a precaution against unnecessary wear, it is preferable to develop speed gradually.

  • Welcoming Safa to #UniKL! 🎓✨

Team #EMGA had the pleasure of assisting Safa and her wonderful family — her father, mother, and younger brother — who looked fresh and cheerful despite just arriving from Kuwait the day before. 💛

We started the day with her medical check-up ✅, then went straight into a campus tour adventure and accommodation check-in 🏡. Safa’s family radiated warmth and joy, even inviting us to join them for a lovely Indian lunch 🍛🥰. They shared how much they enjoy trying new foods, and can’t wait to explore Malaysian cuisine next!

With 7 days in Kuala Lumpur, they’re especially excited to visit iconic spots like KLCC 🌆✨. We wish them the happiest adventures ahead — and an amazing start to Safa’s study journey here in Malaysia, both in and #BeyondTheClassroom 🚀💙

Team #EMGA had the pleasure of assisting Alaa with her registration today, followed by a coffee catch-up right on campus ☕💙. After completing her registration, we also supported her at the visa unit to apply for dependent visas for her children.

Alaa isn’t alone on this journey — her three kids are here with her and have already enrolled in an international school, making Malaysia their new home too. 🏡💛 Though she shared that the registration process was a little tiring, the highlight of her day was meeting her supervisor and having meaningful discussions about her studies. 📚🌟

Here’s to a smooth and successful journey ahead, Alaa — both inside and #BeyondTheClassroom 🚀✨

And of course, no visit would be complete without some local flavors — we introduced them to the classic Nasi Ayam and Milo Ais combo, which was an instant hit! 🍚🥤

We can’t wait to welcome Aini back soon to begin her Malaysian study journey — inside the classroom and #BeyondTheClassroom 🚀💛

It’s his very first time studying abroad, and with Team #EMGA by his side, everything went smoothly — from registration to medical check-ups ✅. To top it off, we treated ourselves to lunch at the viral spot in Bangi, Mak Kimbong 🍛🔥 (his second time there in just two days — that’s how good it is!).

Extra special thanks to Ms. Iffah, a proud UKM alumni herself, who shared some insider campus spots and made the experience even more meaningful 💙. Khader was super happy to finally meet us in person, and he left feeling confident, supported, and ready to begin this exciting journey.

He was truly happy to finally meet us in person and very satisfied with the support received. He even said he will definitely recommend Team #EMGA to others 🙌. We can’t wait to see Khader thrive and shine bright at UKM! ✨
