Interesting read. If you were just beating on the car then a bit of cool down makes sense but most people drive a bit after allowing cool down so this seems repetitive to let the car idle. IMO.

Better safe than sorry. Just let it cool down for a bit. If I'm on my way home, my neighborhood is low traffic so I can throw it in neutral at a certain point and let it coast to my house which takes roughly a minute. From there I check my phone briefly which puts me at another 30 seconds then I shut my car off. IMO coasting in neutral(because airflow) would be better than standing in neutral but obviously not everyone has the space to do so.

Very interesting never thought about this. Thanks for posting that
