In winter, after shutdown, metal cools and major condensation forms on internal metal which accumulates all winter.
I have seen one Porsche engine torn down that was virtually ruined most likely because of this practice.
Thoughts on this? i sell private jet charter and when the planes sit they break. I don't dee how running the car at temp and various rpm can be bad for it.
