warm up procedures

[hitman88@vwmail.net (hitman)]

 i'm sure somebody has some rocco specific advice, but what i do is just standard winterizing procedure like it was any other car. i use 10w30 thru the winter months, change my antifreeze, and give it a good winter readying tune-up. as for warm-up times it normally depends on how cold it is. i normally go with 2-5 mins.
