Warming up

Hi everyone, My SVX is always stored inside but what I recommend no matter the ambient temp is #1/ Start car{Do not touch gas pedal before starting } #2/ Let idle for 15 to 30 seconds. #3/Drive off using light throttle untill engine is warmed up. On the SVX, the tranny will not shift into Fourth untill the trans fluid reachec 50F degrees and will not lock up till it reaches 160F degrees. Your good to go! Take care, BOBB

P/S In extreme cold temps[below zeroF degrees] you may have to give it some gas when starting.
