This is a photo from a relative video (Should You Warm Up Your Car Before Driving? ) and i want to ask: those very important moments (from the time that the key turns on till the time that the temperature reaches the proper point) the synthetic oil is better than the semi-synthetic for our Felicia? Nice and easy driving, no sudden acceleration etc so with which oil our Old car will has less problems as engine wear, increased fuel consumption, etc?

Isn't this bad for your catalytic converter?

Yes as an old 2 stroke rider i agree plus that was an "ace" for them when they racing against 4 stroke bikes because those in downshift a small bounche on the rear wheel. In my TC-6 with 3-4-5th gear on when i release the acceleration pedal and let the car roll i see 00 on the lcd.

The term in Greek for such exaggerations "for show off" in every sector was for over a century (and some times still is) the "Gyfties" which means "Gypsie thing". I spoke for old cars with 4 gears and carburator. I have seen it numerus times when i was kid and even today some drivers with 50cc motorcycles use it. From 3rd gear turn to N let the motorcycle roll to a downhill or a boulevard and one click before the traffic light they press and engage again the 3rd gear.

At 1:16 says about a 24 year old car, a Toyota Celica. I press the clutch and when it cranks i let him, they have told me that this reduces the load at the ignition time.

Code 6U0 919 501 B Blue ring for hot climates.

Ricer car is the term in english (slang). At the 70's-80's i remember that the taxi drivers at the downhill or in the highway they put the Neutral for few seconds and the car was rolling with his own speed, that was a trick of that era for gas economy.

16V sticker on an old 8 valve car, turbo sticker or turbo sound devices on the tail pipe, GTi stickers, plastic discs as rear brake disks etc.

You mean the Crank sensor? This one is a "Do not touch" sensor, you must not remove it without a serous reason or overtighten it. One guy try to use it as an Antitheef measure and that cause him huge problems.

@KenONeill : The type of engine oil plays till that time a crucial part or no?

BMW older models had it in their dashboard. Vacuum gauges in three colours (green-yellow-red) and white needle were very famous back in the carburetor days. Very easy to read.

This does not coming after a minute, it takes longer. The type of engine oil plays till that time a crucial part or no? When the motor starts while you standing and few rev ups with gentle pedal pushings won't help a bit?

No matter the weather you just turn the key and the next second you put the gear on? There isn't a difference between an old design motor like ours with a new one on this sector?

I don't mean in snow or ice conditions with temperatures below zero for example as -20 C but on a typical cold day in the morning as you are about to leave the parking lot to go work, how much time you let the engine idling? 15 sec, 30 sec, 1 minute? More? https://knowhow.napaonline.com/benefits-of-warming-up-your-car-how-long-is-too-long/ https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/energy/efficiency/communities-infrastructure/transportation/idling/4463 On that short period what is best for our Old technology engine, a Synthetic or a Semi synthetic oil?

No problem with puddles? The braking distance isn't different? Driving on wet weather does not feel the steering wheel more ''light'' ?

An older video and another one compared with a Scan gauge.

A Vacuum gauge on the driver's column wont help?

The article is not mine, i have the link at the end of it. 😉

Why is the actual capacity of automotive fuel tanks bigger than nominal capacity? “It seems like the fuel tank is filled up more than the rated capacity!!!” “It’s never been like that!!!” Driver may have all experienced something like these. Especially when filling up the car, drivers sometimes doubt if the right amount of fuel is filled for these reasons. So it does when the amount of fuel remained and filled exceeds the capacity of a fuel tank officially indicated by automakers. However if the difference is merely 5~10 liters, this is natural. It’s because it was originally designed to be larger than the nominal capacity of a fuel tank specified in the user’s guide. Therefore if the phenomenon above happens, do not panic and check the actual difference from the nominal capacity. 1. Nominal capacity of a fuel tank (nominal capacity) ① “Nominal capacity” is designed for passenger cars to drive *about 600 km at the speed of 80~100 km/hr on the motorways. Nominal capacity varies depending on car models and an engine displacement because it is designed considering fuel efficiency and the weight of car body. * About 600 km driving if it is converted into a distance on the assumption that a driver can drive 5~6 hours a day at the speed of 100 km without physical fatigue (on a basis of fueling once a day). ② It was designed with spare capacity to allow a driver to drive to the next highway service area* (the average distance between service areas is about 50~60 km) and it is about 10% of the capacity of a fuel tank. 2. Why is the actual capacity larger than the nominal capacity? If the nominal capacity of a fuel tank is 65ℓ, the actual capacity is about 75ℓ. It’s because automobile manufacturers made the fuel tank by securing spare capacity corresponding to 10~15% of the nominal capacity1. The reason is as follows: ① It is intended to prevent VOC from being leaked in the event of volume expansion caused by an air temperature rise. If the fuel tank is filled up, the fuel is likely to overflow as the internal temperature rises to push up internal pressure. ② It is also intended to secure room for expansion to prevent the leakage of fuel when the car is parked on a slant after its fuel tank is filled up. This room is called “spare capacity for expansion.” (Note) ¹ Maintain the reference amount of fueling LPG vehicles’ fuel tanks (85%) LPG expands if its temperature in liquid state is raised. Therefore in case of filling the container with LPG, it is regulated to have the container’s temperature maintained below 40℃ to keep liquid LPG from exceeding 85% of container content (90% in case of a storage tank). http://www.s-oil7.net/eng/knowledge/expert/view.jsp?seq=79

You are right, the TC-6 is the solution but as an aftermarket is very expensive.

Which second of the video is this?

Sounds very good to me. (don't open the oil cap while the motor is running). 😁

Looks like a Green air intake but in this position there is no cool air coming to it.

Don't rely 100% on the charts even the capacity of the tank isn't exactly 42 litres. Every gas station has different inclination, different employee with diferent attitude so there is no quarantee that every time you fill it up your tank has the same amount of gasoline inside. The traffic simoulation on the factory tests has nothing to do with the tough reality of the town traffic especially on a hot day. A guy wich has his Felicia from town A to B via highway has not the same fuel consumption with a guy which travels from one suburb to another in a big city. and a guy which lives in the mountain with heavy winter has not the same fuel consumption with one which lives in a island. Don't make comparisons especially with drivers from other countries because there are many parametres (different asphalt, wind, gasoline quality, temperature, different road design etc).

@cheezemonkhai Is this meant to be related to the bonnet hood somehow, because as it stands I can't see it? ................. The camera is above the lisence plate among the lights so you can not see anything from the 5th door. In this position and on the 4th scale you see what is close to the bumper to prevent the "baaam" while parking.
