Re: Sitting

[Mike & Deb <mdlefevre@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jacob,
For every gallon of gasoline that is combusted in a engine approximately one gallon of water is formed. This mostly exits out the exhaust system but some does go past the rings into the oil pan. This mixes with the unburned fuel and residues from combustion to form acids among other compounds. This goo causes sludge formation and the acids corrode metals in the engine. In order to rid the oil of the water it has to achive at least the boiling point of 212 degrees F. This takes a while of operation of course. Now don't freak out if complete warm up is not reached, just make sure to take her out and go for a nice long drive occasionaly.

So I haven't started my car in a bout a week cause work has had me so busy. I was wondering if it's better to let it sit or start it and let it run for a few min. I started it today no prob but I put my finger in the tail pipe and felt some condensation. I don't wanna hurt my baby! I've heard all kinds of stuff about condensation...but idk what's what. Just looking for info.
