Ok So, I want to do this in the Form of a list.
1. When you Idle your Car, your not getting it up to Operating Temperatures. So, the Fuel is Diluting the Oil and there is increased condensation in the Engine. Because the oil is not heated up yet, it cant evaporate them off.
2. When Idling, you have the lowest Oil Pressure, which means that bearings in the engine are not getting the protection they need. Also, low pressure is going to make it even harder to move the cold oil
3. Just letting the engine Warm up, does nothing for the rest of the car. I.E., Transmission, Differentials, Transfer Cases (if you have one), ect.. The rest of the fluids are still cold. So, driving normally with a warm engine, and cold fluids other wise is bad.
Someone tell me, how is there condensation inside the engine?, and how is the Fuel Diluting the oil?
