I’ve heard it’s not good to warm up the Supra in the winter, but can’t find that in the manual. Anyone know if this is true? If true, what damage will it cause?

It actually does have an oil temp gauge, hold the trip reset button for like 20-25 seconds, go into unlock mode, add up the last 6 of your vin, boom, you'll unlock a secret menu and it shows all of that, also how you go into dyno mode.Wait for the idle to drop and get moving. Unfortunately this car doesn’t have an oil temp gauge, which is frustrating.
I know, but thats super annoying LOLIt actually does have an oil temp gauge, hold the trip reset button for like 20-25 seconds, go into unlock mode, add up the last 6 of your vin, boom, you'll unlock a secret menu and it shows all of that, also how you go into dyno mode.
Hmmmmm... you would think it would be addressed in the manual ?Modern cars, especially European ones have since long ago advocated starting and driving right off as the best way to properly warm all fluids at the same time.
I dont think warming up the car is necessarily bad hence why nothing is said in the manual.Hmmmmm... you would think it would be addressed in the manual ?
It's not good to warm up any car idling. It's best to get in, get yourself situated, seatbelts, music, whatever, and go. Keep the load on the engine low until the coolant gauge reaches optimum temperature. There's no oil gauge, because it isn't important. Oil works at any temp. Coolant gauge is a good indicator for when your engine is at operating temp.I’ve heard it’s not good to warm up the Supra in the winter, but can’t find that in the manual.

Do you have to complete this process every time you want to access this menu or is it always available after unlocking?It actually does have an oil temp gauge, hold the trip reset button for like 20-25 seconds, go into unlock mode, add up the last 6 of your vin, boom, you'll unlock a secret menu and it shows all of that, also how you go into dyno mode.
Oil comments are completely wrongIt's not good to warm up any car idling. It's best to get in, get yourself situated, seatbelts, music, whatever, and go.

Warming up while driving means everything in the car heats up together. Engine, transmission, diff, you name it. Idling in the driveway just warms up the engine, and nothing else.
Warming up while idling was a thing back in the carburetor days.
This topic has been beaten to death on Rennlist. The main reason why the manual states to drive immediately is because it's illegal for cars to idle in Germany; hence why German cars have the engine shutoff feature. Most wait until the fuel enrichment idle to drop then start to drive under 4K rpm until the oil temp has reached 200 degrees.Modern cars, especially European ones have since long ago advocated starting and driving right off as the best way to properly warm all fluids at the same time.
