RPM question....
My Forte family, i have a small question and i hope to get an answer from you soon....
my question is: Always doing 6000RPM before changing gears is bad to the engine? I love using the sportronic mode and i am wondering if always doing 6000RPM is making my engine sick in the near future... TIA brofoxxy

RE: RPM question....
It accelerates wear and uses more gas, but it if makes you happy, rev away.

RE: RPM question....
i usually shift around 3,000 RPM; 4,500 at the latest. i get really good mileage out of it that way

RE: RPM question....
So where you live, you can run that thing through the gears to 6k RPMs again and again and again, everywhere you drive?
Your worries won't only be the engine, but probably everything else on back plus your suspension too. Hell, around Southern California you would be ticketed for exibition of speed, or disturbing the peace for doing that. .... I'm sure you drive it other than like a racecar... right Mr Fox?

RE: RPM question....
Seems a bit excessive, but it's your ride...beat on it if you want to!
