Normal rpm range?

[t_marat]

In what range do you usually ran your engine? In my case it rarely passes over 3000.
Is it useful to rev the engine up to 4000-5000 from time to time (provided the engine is hot)?

Definitely, a good flogging helps clean out carbon deposits and other gunk.

However, from what I've heard, keeping it at a constant high rpm (5k+) burns oil.

[QUOTE=t_marat]In what range do you usually ran your engine? In my case it should run through the gears full throttle at least once a week or so. I also rarely get the rpms up there.

When pootling around, yes, it rarely goes above 3k.

But I rarely pootle. :)
