Twofold questions: Short drives and Long Drives
#1
So this morning with it about 80 degrees I wanted to move my car 25 feet. It hadn't been used in more than a day. Is it bad to only drive a short time in the summer and then turn it off before the needle is in the middle of L and H. I seem to remember Chris talking about it. Like it is better to have a longer commute with highway driving because then it allows the car to warm up before you turn it off. To try and let it warm up I drove it around my neighborhood, but only got up to 30 mph. The needle only rose a little bit.

As you know I am moving to San Antonio, and will drive there. It is ~1600 miles. I am about 1300 miles from an oil change, so I know I should get that done. Is there anything else I should do? I just put on my more sturdy all season tires that sat in my storage room from March 8 to last Monday, do I need a balance and alignment after putting them on? TIA
