rev the engine to 5000 rpm before break in period
I took delivery of my white fr-s AT last Monday, n I took it on a little road trip this past weekend (it was a 300 miles round trip) n I had 112 miles before the road trip. I drove between 60-85 miles on the freeway, trying not to keep it at a constant speed or rpm. But on 4 occasions, I accidently rev the engine to 5000 rpm going uphill. My question may sound dumb, but I hope I did not do too much damage to the engine. N I thought engine these days are pre broken-in from the factory.

lol.
don't worry about it at all. My father in law, who is a cummins turbo diesel instructor and mechanic, breaks in those motors with 60+ PSI turbos with 100% load and max torque for 5 minutes and that's it. Motors these days are designed to be pushed a lot harder safely, imo.

I was tearing mine up with like 200 miles on it. I think you will be ok.

You probably need a total rebuild or a new engine

Ooof, hopefully you didn't bend any valves. One thing is certain though, your warranty is void.
/sarcasm Youre fine.

The OP was worried about going above 4000 during the 1000 mile breakin period, which is recommended by the manual.
