How long do you keep it at 4k rpms?This is Italian tune up:

My stepfather had a mid 1990's 500SL which ran awful because of the constant low speed driving. I was afraid to do a hard run on the car because it was 20 yrs old at the time and I didn't want to get blamed for breaking something. Mom sold it and a year or so later the buyer stopped by my mother's house and said that the car ran great after taking it on to the highway for a good long run. Apparently he's now winning concurs events with it. I wish I could've bought it.We got a junkyard ford 500 with super low miles owned by an elderly person. Carboned up, struggling and coughing and the power steering didnt work. I drove it like i stole it and the Power steering freed up and it ran great for 3 years while i beat it like a rented mule.
Not sure what is time that engine spends at 4k on its way to 7k rpmHow long do you keep it at 4k rpms?
20 mph over eh? lolThis is Italian tune up:

Nah, I was still accelerating up the Eisenhower tunnel on I70.20 mph over eh? lol
I agree. They can easily handle sustained 4k rpms. More wear on a cold start. The only thing sustained 4k rpms will do is heat the oil up more which will speed up the oxidation rate.Not sure why anyone would think this worrisome or wonder about oil temps? Any modern engine should sustain 4k indefinitely.
I regularly flog my '11 6.2 harder than that for longer than that. Towing in Colorado, you have to.
If this is to be believed, any modern gasser that tows is clean as a whistle![]()
Don’t cause any avalanches cruising at 7000 RPMNot sure what is time that engine spends at 4k on its way to 7k rpm
But when I ski, which is one or twice a week, I generally have no problems pushing oil temperature to 240-250f even though I have radiator oil cooler.
I don’t cruiseDon’t cause any avalanches cruising at 7000 RPM![]()
And people probably think that noise is coming from the airportI don’t cruise![]()
I believe in many of the name brand gasoline that premium has more detergents than regular gas.With rare exception, premium fuel does not have added detergents. Just higher octane.
