battery does not charge at idle and it does not heat up the oil it only heats up the water a little bit so ideling is hurting the engine, you are also poisoning yourself with carbon monoxide, dont do it anymore please

If your charging system is in good shape, there will be some charging going on at idle.

The whole engine, including the oil, heats up and will eventually get to operating temp.

Not if your engine is tuned properly. CO emissions are very low and drop to next-to-nothing once the cats warm up. I still wouldn't advise idling in a closed garage but it's not the big problem it was back in The Good Old Days.

Additionally, when as the engine cools, condensation forms in the crankcase. If the car isn't going to be driven in the winter, it should just sit with a Battery Tender on it. Intermittently starting it doesn't help anything and causes more harm than good. In fact, it doesn't do any good.

Never ever in my life has starting mh car hurt anything. My cars all run perfectly! So like others say gtfo this awesome forum. Or maybe post something useful

There you go....good advice. When alarm rings to wake you up in the morning, first thing you do BEFORE you press the alarm button, you press the remote starter. Then, you brush your teeth, shower, dress and eat breakfast, before you step out to the car. Car is nice and toasty.

Great advice. It's why remote starters exist!!!

Wait, so now you AGREE with everyone and are backtracking?

No, he's trying to be sarcastic. Of course, like everything else in his life, he completely ****** that up too. He needs to go warm up his car for a few hours. In the garage. With the door closed. Sitting in the driver seat.
