What is the purpose of keeping the oil warm in the car's engines (oil warmers) while in impound?

Answer 1

We only keep the oil warm in impound if the race is the same day as qualifying, the reason its kept warm is because the oil is not as thick, (even though is is already like water)and the oil performs better warm, it doesnt take the engine near as long to reach peak operating temp either, we also turn the oil pump with out the engine running so that way we have already built oil pressure and everything is lubed before start up, b/c its not good for these engines to be started, over and over as it is, the pre lube helps prevent damage

Answer 2

those engineers have a boatload of e book studying and no functional adventure. The oil itself would not smash down however the ingredients do and between the roles of oil is to collect the contaminants from combustion and condensation and shop it in suspension so it would not abrade or corrode the metals that would ideally be rubbing against one yet another. It was that we replaced oil each and every 2000 miles yet oil is getting extra advantageous each and every of the time. ok, it isn't the oil this is getting extra advantageous however the ingredients. we are utilising the comparable oil now as then, yet with extra advantageous ingredients. That mixed with extra advantageous metallurgy ability that we are able to bypass extra between oil ameliorations now. 3000 to 5000 miles based on the style of provider you're submitting your motor vehicle to. and alter the clear out. don't be cheep in this one. changing your oil is cheep while in comparison with changing your engine, or procuring a sparkling motor vehicle.

Answer 3

If you run them red hot on practice-Qualifying and such then shut them off Cold Turkey without using the Oil Warmer--The engine is more likely to have condensation build up due to the Rapid Cool down. Water-coolant moisture and condensation can creep into the engine through gaskets!!!!!!

Answer 4

Becouse when oil is cold it is at one weight and when it gets hot it goes to the other weight and what i mean by oil weight is for example 20w50 like they run in nascar when it is cold it is at 50 and it is thick and moves slow and when it is hot it goes to 20 and is a little thinner and moves more freely

Answer 5

I would say that the purpose of keeping the oil warm is so that it doesn't get cold.......

Answer 6

Simple answer is engine oil flows better when hot.

Answer 7

All that Ed P said and it also helps prevent viscosity break down due to heat cycles. Whether it be tires, brakes, or fluid heat cycles shorten the life of whatever it is.

Answer 8

also the oil will pump up to the valvetrain faster

Answer 9

so it doesn't cool.
