Just got out of my '88 T16SPG after grabbing an expresso and decided to have a look for myself. It says, "Warm up for 10 seconds before driving. Let it idle for 20-30 seconds before shutting it down." (Paraphrased just a tiny bit.) Oh. And get this. It also says to make sure you change the oil every 7500 miles. ! 7500 miles!!! (The manual *does* recommend twice as often under very hard and dirty conditions though, around every 3000 miles.) Ummm...better safe than sorry on this one methinks. Brandon Thomas '88 T16vSPG
