That's your rev limiter going off! You can turn off the light and the beep. At a stop, press the Display button until you see something like B-####. Hold the display button to change it. Hold the Display button again to go through the numbers and tap the Display button to move to the next item. But search for Rev Limiter on Youtube or look in your manual for more details

I think it's good to take it up above 7K at least once every time you drive the car. Kind of the "Italian tuneup" philosophy. But, do whatever makes you happy.

LOL, I have always lived by this theory, and you know what? I have never, ever had a problem. Like my Grandma use to do when I was little, she would always open up her old Grand Prix everytime merging on the highway saying "You gotta clean the carb out, and burn off that carbon!"

Same. Don't like it under 1750 but prefer below 4k if I can

When I'm cruising at a constant speed, I keep it between 2000 and 2500.
I try not to keep it below 2000 even when I'm engine braking.

when i feel like saving on gas I shift at bout 2.5k and just feather the throttle. However, I can barley stick with this strategy as I always like to hear my tires chrip when shifting from 2nd to 3rd at 7400 rpm!

Knowing how Vvt works, I keep my revs north of 3000 mostly, optimal oil pressures, minimal deposits equal a happy gmookher.

It's good to open her up regularly once she warmed up. Self cleaning temps are key, as proven with other motors prone to deposit, drive it like you stole it. Use good oil, and rev it out. Hard.

Babying it is against design. Water pump flow, oil, etc, all like being circulated and motor likes the 4k to6k range, at least with a great tune, mine liked it best there with a unresonated free flowing tailpipe, it's not a Camry. Floor it.

Njoy

I'm still "breaking" in my car, but my right foot keeps getting twitchy. It's only at 670 miles and it's seen 6K more than a few times this week...
