I’ve been going to a specialized Honda & Acura shop that is father son owned with my 1996 Civiic & 2006 CRV and they both told me the auto start/stop is awful for your engine and starter. They haven’t needed to do even an oil change on it yet, but I hope someone finds a hack to turn it off completely very soon. Other than my parking garage situation, it is the most annoying thing about my Passport. I still keep forgetting to turn it off before driving. Only at 2200 miles and that includes three round trip road trips.I think what you may be concerned about is that the engine oil will drain into the pan after the engine has sat for a long period of time. I don’t think this would be a concern with a short rest period.
I’m not concerned.
Also, they have always told me to do a 1-2 minutes cold start warm up on my engine before driving.
