Cold starting..?
I know the importance of a proper warm-up before running higher RPM, but can someone tell me if starting the car from cold, for a few seconds (say to get out of garage) and then switching off and leaving is detrimental to good engine health..?

Make your own conclusions! I would never cold start and then switch off again.

I though it might be so most times I'll give it a run. However there are the odd occasions when this is not possible..!
Am I right in thinking using fully synthetic oil helps due to the lack of minaral acids etc..?
