I always wait after 10-15 minutes of normal driving before I get anywhere near redline. Would this have caused any damage in terms of lack of cylinder lubrication? Is 10 minutes of idle warm up enough to thin down 0w-20 oil? Granted the car was inside the shop so cold temp was probably 10 degrees Celsius. Thanks

Well it’s not ideal to only let the engine warm up by idling and then pegging the rev limiter. 0W20 does basically flow like water so that helps get all the critical parts lubricated quickly. I would show the manager of that shop your video. There should never have been a reason for them to rev your engine that high.
