This is my first Toyota and I don't know what's normal ... but I was reading this thread:
http://rav4world.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1903
and I understand that a warmup period of between 30 seconds and a minute or so is probably sufficient depending on ambient temps.
Anyway, I've noticed that even with a warmup of about a minute on mildly cold mornings (0 celsius here so far) the trans takes about a mile or so to warm to the point it will shift into OD. My questions:
Is this normal?
I've told my wife (who does most of the driving) to take it easy until the car shifts into OD but should I be concerned about this?
Will a longer warmup make an appreciable reduction in the time it takes to get the tranny to operating temp?
Thanks, kj
