Anyways, there is absolutely no way you can tell me there is no extra wear at all what so ever at 4K vs 2k. Regardless of extra oiling.
Engines wear. If operated within their design specs that wear is normal not "extra". When operated outside of their design specs the wear is extra. Simple concept. The difference in wear from running low RPMs as opposed to middle would be minuscule and worrying about it is silly. Don't lug it all the time and don't drive at red line for hours on end and the wear will be perfectly normal.
