I like the German autobahns, is it ok for the engine to sit at high rpm for sustained periods of time? Always warmed up of course - is oil going to boil?
 
i would say if you are worried about it... upgrade the oil cooler. $80 for a masive one and you increase the amount of oil in the system. :laugh:
 
Have checked now, max rpm is 6,900 and max sustained is 6,700!

Most of the time its quite easy to keep the revs above 5,000rpm for a good while, rarely goes above 6,200rpm - but would it be ok to hold it there?

I like to thing of these engines as strong and rev happy, but if they are anything like boat engines then high speed cruising will take its toll.
