Besides preventing the build-up of nasty engine sludge and premature wear, protection against cold starts is one of the main reasons why you should never skip an oil change in your gasoline or diesel ...

On the first cold morning of the year, millions of people walk out, start the car, and let it idle for five or ten minutes to ...

Drivers who skip basic upkeep are quietly grinding years off their engines at a time when the average new-car transaction ...

Cold start combustion in diesel engines is characterised by low ambient temperatures that impair fuel atomisation, prolong ignition delay and increase unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and ...

Aircraft engines require preheating for cold starts because the differing thermal expansion rates of their aluminum and steel components can eliminate critical clearances, leading to severe damage ...

The Rapid Catalyst Heating system quickly elevates catalyst temperatures, reducing harmful emissions during the critical cold start phase. The system is designed for easy integration into light- and ...

Cold weather adversely affects diesel engines more than gas engines, but that’s only partly due to the engine itself. Diesel engines are inherently harder to crank over to start than gas engines, and ...
