My 2010 model year honda civic with the 1.8l r18a1 4-cyl engine will not maintain its normal engine operating temperature during the cold winter months. The engine takes a considerable amount of time to warm up, whether it is idling in the driveway or being driven in the city/highway. This problem is especially noticeable when using the heat to warm up the car. If I try to use the defrost setting, the car will not reach its normal operating temperature and the air being blow out is lukewarm. Even if I wait until the car is fully warmed up, if I attempt to use the defrost, the engine temperature will drop. In order to maintain the engine's temperature, I must keep the defrost set between the hot and cold indicators on the climate control knob. This poses as a problem, because the air being blown out does not effectively defrost my windows. I also do not want to damage my engine and have it run too cold. Any outside temperate below 30 f is when the engine seems to struggle with keeping a normal operating temperate.
