I had a '00 Civic with the 1.6 VTEC 5-speed. Hitting redline was a daily, frequent routine. While commuting to and from college, I would sometimes cruise at 4000 RPM for several lonely hours.
The car had 85,000 miles when it was totalled in a wreck caused by another driver. It burned virtually no oil. I used Valvoline Durablend 5w-30 for every oil change with 3500-mile intervals. When I changed the plugs at 60,000 miles, they had a very light, white tint on them, but no irregularities. T'was a great car...
