So im generally sorta "overly" paranoid about my cars, but I feel like this ones at least.....somewhat legit.
So I have 2 issues:
I drive a manual (15' Civic Si), however I live on sorta a steep hill. I always give it a minute before taking off. However when taking off from the hill on a cold engine, I have to rev it sorta high (around 2k RPM) to get up the hill without stalling. Is this...bad? since it's a cold engine? The Si takes very thin synthetic oil so I figure it can't be that bad
Within 2-3 minutes im on the interstate, the blue light on my car is usually off by then (which means the engine is at 125c) however that's not the "full" operating temp. So my question is: does cruising at 3.5k (or around 70-75 mph) on an engine thats not at fully operating temps cause any damage? I always generally try to keep revs under 3k....but on the highway can't really do that as Hondas stay at pretty high RPM's even in higher gears.
