Default Haha, that's true!

I was chased off the road into a corn field by a bunch of hill billies once! The audi is still recovering from that incident.

Default too much idle, at idle speed does not flow enough oil, you need to give a quick boost..........

from time to time. Also, I would never idle a gas engine for more than 2 hrs at a time, unless in artic temps. The tolerance levels are not there as with a diesel engine which can handle it better. I would suggest warmer clothes, maybe a heating pad, etc.

Too much idle time on a gas engine will foul plugs, lead to carbon buildup which in turn will effect cats, O2 sensors. Not to mention your valves won't liek it either.
