Just to clarify, I'm not suggesting you top it out all the time. Ours has seen the limiter one time and it was my screw up in shifting that got it there. 4K-4.5K is a good cruising range, but like Brucelee said, keeping it at the top all the time (5+K cruising) will wear the engine out faster. Those ranges are for quick shifting and not for cruising.
