noooooo what were u thinking...

as for oil info...there is a lot...I have 2 contats that knwo their sh*t...I can't take credit for everything...but I wanted to share the info and stop the bs.

alos I have more info on oil filters...we were just arguing with a guy on SAU who changes the filter every 2-5k...when i can find my links on how oil filters work you wil realise it really working until it gets some crap in it and been driven for a few '000 kms..use good oil and change filter every 10k...

then rev it hard every day and take corners to the max....

Rpm does not decrease the life of your engine??? Constantly running your car at high rpms will cause your components to wear out quicker period. You think your not putting a load on your engine at high rpm???

Considering the stroke of the FTO's engine, revving is not a problem. You do not hear about many majar problems with the FTO engine itself. What ya gotta worry about more is the driveline. This part seems to be weak point of the FTO. Auto anywayz!
