Is it okay if I drive my car and never use the turn signals? I hate to run out of blinker fluid.

Time is relative, temperature is what you're looking for. The temp gauge on the dash is only for coolant, not oil temps, which can take longer.

- If the engine is cold, I prefer to let it idle for 10 sec to get fluids moving. Then start driving immediately.

- If the needle is below cold, I keep the revs as low as possible without lugging and use very light throttle.

- When the needle is above C but not to stable temp yet, I drive normally, keeping the revs from going too high or full load.

- When the needle has stabilized, I will be more agressive, but not flog it. No hard driving until after it's been at temp for at least 10 minutes. This helps ensure the oil temps are stabilized as well.

It might be real. I took this picture on the 405 freeway... the Explorer in front of me has reverse fluid.
