The simple answer is yes, but there is a catch. It is common thought that driving around consistently with the engine at a high RPM is unhealthy for your vehicle, and that much is certainly true. It is a fact that high RPMs can negatively affect the components of the engine, simply by exposing them to more strain. It is also a fact that driving like this will result in burning more fuel quicker. Now, what you may not have known is that there are times when high RPMs are actually healthy for your vehicle.
When a car engine has a very high number of revolutions per minute, it actually results in carbon deposits being cleaned out of the throttle body, car valves, and the combustion chamber among others. Essentially, by redlining every once in a while, carbon gunk gets prevented from clogging up your engine.
While it may seem counterproductive to redline every now and then in hopes of keeping your engine healthy, the benefits have been proven. If you have any questions about keeping your car in great shape, please stop by or call our service center.
