I know you did that. All I was stating was that I really don't know where the 2500rpm thing came from, either. Maybe it seemed like I was directing my talk about 2500/3000 rpms at you, but that was not my intent. (oops)
My reason for bringing up the 4,000rpm limit is because that's what's written in the manual, which you said you read. I think stating something because it's in the very documentation we're talking about makes sense. Your comment about having read the manual seemed to indicate that, having done so, you did not see anything regarding a cold driving process to follow. That was what I took from it, and I could certainly be wrong. That, along with the mention of oil change intervals, was what I was commenting on when I quoted you regarding the manual. The stuff in between is talking more to the thread subject matter in general. That was not directed at you or anything you said.
I too read my manual cover-to-cover a few times the day I brought the car home, and specifically tracked down that section where this information is to find out how the car should be driven cold. I really haven't seen or heard from anyone that 2500rpms is the magic number. Be it 2500 or 3000, I am in total agreement with you that there is no concrete proof or any sort of test that I've seen to substantiate either one being ideal. Basically, I'm trusting the specialists who have stated that it is what's best for the car.
