Pitter Pitter Contributor : 2020 CX-5 Signature Azul Metalico Jul 16, 2023 #1 How long would you leave the engine idling with the AC on in hot weather? What risk to engine?
S Silly Wabbit : Mazda CX-9 Signature Jul 16, 2023 #2 No risk. You actually want to idle to cool the oil otherwise you'll cook your turbo.
C ColtX-5 : '16.5 CX-5 AWD Jul 16, 2023 #3 No risk to engine or turbo if cooling system is functioning normally. Idle as long as reasonable. In fact, 60 to 120 seconds of idling after ending a drive is a smart move to cool the turbo before shutting down. I always did that to my T-bird.
