While this was true back when cars had carburetors, with FI and engine management of modern engines, not so much. The ECM will make the engine run a little rich when cold, but not wash-the-cylinders rich.

When I bought my Z, the salesman handed my brother the owners manual booklet along with the spare key/fob. My brother placed it in the cubby behind the seat along with the owners manual, and reminded me to not forget it when I got home.

Well, I did forget it, for about 4 days. With the other fob in my pocket the whole time, not once did the car ever act any different, nor did it ever shut off on its own or lock the doors on its own.

And the reason I finally remembered the other fob being in the car is because my brother went walking over to my car, joking that he was going to take it out for a drive and hit the button on the door and it unlocked. My fob that's usually in my pocket was about 70 feet away in the house on the kitchen counter.

Not to mention that modern motor oils (regular or blends or full synthetics) bond and "stick" to all metal components much better than before, so dangerous cold starts are somewhat a thing of the past as well.

I don't know where you're getting your information from, but you need to stop posting until you get the right information.

If the average clown was to read your post, they would assume:

The engine floods with fuel at idle
The oil pump doesn't work at all at idle
The engine never reaches full operating temp at idle
The oil gets contaminated with fuel at idle
Everything you say is "FACT" so it HAS to be true

And again, "more worse"? Really?!

Wow...

He's got a post history full of dumb **** he passes off as gospel. He thinks we should be comfortable with 320 degree oil temps and 10k change intervals too.

I warm my car up to the first or second dot on the water temp gauge. My oil analysis has never shown any fuel contamination or excessive wear.

Behindspace, if the only person who agrees with you is Zeebabar, you've found yourself in the retarded part of town.

I've installed remote starts for years (including in my 370) never had any issues with any of my customers cars.

You, good sir, are a grade-A retard.

And you are rude and immature and maybe dumb too if you cannot move on to a thread you like instead of getting on to simply be nasty.
