75 degrees is extremely cold for an engine.


No, 75 is pretty good for ambient. Try 0 or -15F, then talk to us about extremely cold temperatures for engines.

You just need to realize this is an internet forum full of different opinions.

I wouldn't be concerned. Sometimes I will give my cars an Italian tune up on the highway but I haven't reved hard on a cold engine in a long long time unless I had no choice. Give it a few minutes and enjoy. I wouldn't over stress any engine anyways

Nissans can take it,those engines are bulletproof!

I hope you're joking. The only time Nissan had reliable engines were late 90s to the very early 2000s. It's been majorly downhill ever since, especially since they keep trying to put stupid new technologies in the engines that majorly change the way they function. VVEL and variable compression and all that worthless [censored].

Their reliability is about FCA level these days. Awful, awful vehicles for awful people.

Your vehicle is an example of one that falls out of the "awful cars for awful people" category, being so old though.

Chrysler is actually pretty decent. A co-worker made the mistake of buying a Versa. He's had a lot of problems with it.

I have a customer that's 79 years old & drag races his '57 Chevy every chance he gets, I bet money he can cut a better light than you. It's funny when he makes fun of the young pup's at the track for falling asleep on the tree.

We get it. You live in an area that gets very cold. People like myself and many other referring to "cold starts" are talking about any engine temp that is below operating temperature.
