The internet foolishness perpetuated by technically illiterate people is very dangerous.
It appears you are talking about me here since I'm the one who didn't praise the owners manual and live by it's every word. It's almost sounding religious isn't it? But seriously, statements like yours discount an open conversation about the subject. To each his own but there's no need to make such blanket statements as if comments made on the internet (that don't adhere to your beliefs) are made by foolish, technically illiterate people. It doesn't solidify your belief, quite the opposite.

To be perfectly clear, I wasn't saying you should go wide open throttle, bounce off the rev limiter, lift, and repeat. I merely said it was good to put some load on the engine and let the engine rev down on it's own accord. Hopping in a new car and cruising for hundreds of miles, from what I've been told (in person), isn't good for the engine in the very early miles.

Cheers
