Like title indicates.. I had a major brain lapse yesterday. Got to work went in and left my car running. 9:30am to 6:30pm
Question is, other than ask myself wtf is going on in my head, do I need to be concerned about anything on the engine?
I just changed my oil about 1,000 miles ago but was thinking about doing another oil change since I heard about issues with fuel dillution and idling making it worse. Carbon build up due to idling with the DI??
An interesting tidbit about all this - so I had roughly 3/4-7/8 of a tank that morning. After idling 9 hrs there was still 1/2 tank left. If someone asked me beforehand I'd say it would be run dry and I'd need a lift to the nearest gas station with a jug. My fuel economy was around 39mpg in the morning, 31.5 that evening. Go figure.
