How long due you let your 924 idle when you just want to run it while it isnt be used. 10 minutes half an hour or longer ?

It isnt used as a dialy driver anymore but I want to keep things lubricated , cant take it for a run as it is in the backyard waiting for another shed to be built to house it and work on it.

Long enough for the oil to reach operating temperature, and for the exhaust to reach operating temperature.

However long that is; I just drive mine, or it's on blocks and can't start.

I usually run it until the fan kicks in.
