driving below 2800 RPM = trouble?

I think Perfectlap's suggestion for driving is ideal. No sacrifice at all, and no guilt for pushing it a bit. I do not see it as being overworried about IMS - just doing what you can to avoid an unlikley issue (like taking an aspirin every day for my healthy heart).

I have read on the LNE Engineering site that 5-40 oil is best, but it wasn't clear (at least to me) if that helped even if the seal to the IMS bearing had not been removed. I am going to increase the frequency of oil changes to 5,000 and use Castrol or RP.

I may be one of the people Pbanders feels sorry for, but I drive at the RPM I want, and use some common sense too.

The last thing I want is to mess my car up but I really can't imagine me ever lugging the engine, it runs too good to shift that soon. I'm going to just drive it the way I am comfortable driving it and let what ever happens happen.
