Is it bad to drive at 5, 000 rpm?
Consider a bearing that has a lifetime of 1,000,000 revolutions. If you drive at 5,000 RPM, that bearing is going to use up its lifetime twice as fast as if you were driving at 2,500 RPM. On the other hand, “lugging” an engine at too low an RPM can be harmful, as well.
What should my engine revs be when driving?
When driving I have to keep my revs below 3000 until the engine and turbo are at the right temperature, then I typically keep my revs between 3000 and 5000, as that is the best range for it, but you need to look at what your car is designed for.
How is the RPM of a car determined?
Determine your engine’s RPM based on the transmission gear ratio, tire height, MPH and the ratio of your ring gear and pinion gear. This calculator will provide the speed of the vehicle based on the transmission gear ratio, the engine RPM, the tire height, and the ring gear and pinion gear ratio in the rear end axle differential housing.
Is there a rev limit for a TDI engine?
Everyone seems to “complain” that you allways should keep your RPMs as low as possible (shift early), and never drive so fast that you go past 3000 RPM with a TDI engine that has a rev-limit at about 5000. Is this true?

What kind of engine revs to 7500 rpm?
2001 Silverado, 11.59at 113 MagnaCharged L33. High Rs in a V8 is loads of fun, but…pushrod engines have a hard time w high RPMs due to valve float. Not that this cannot be done, but the resulting stress on your valve train over the long haul is a motor issue waiting to happen.
What should the engine RPMs be when driving?
It seems to happen primarily when traveling between 45-55mph. When driving, slightly accerating, the truck is doing about 1100 rpm in its 6th gear. The engines RPMs seem to bounce back and forth 50-100 rpm.
