Automatic Transmission

If a automatic car is left unused for 2/3 months,is it advisable when starting to allow 5/10 mineuts ticking over in order to allow the oil to heat and circulate? If driven straight away,is there a danger of the engine seizing? Advice would be appricated.

Hi there.

The Help Desk is for people who are having trouble using the site or who have an issue with a moderation decision.

I suggest the Motors forum (using the menu at the top of the screen, located under Rec > Motoring > Motors). Unfortunately you're not going to get an answer to your query in the Help Desk.
