In which RPM range do you shift up in each gear until your car is warmed up?

ADias

4k or less. Once oil is up to op temp, you may approach redline. Just don't go over it, and especially do not miss a down shift.

u mean dont miss an upshift by accidentally downshifting ("moneyshifting")

ADias

an upshift - 2nd instead of 6th

or a downshift - 2nd instead of 4th from a 6th.

Sadiq

good point

For me it depends upon a lot of things. Just how cold is it? Am I heading down a hill or up. There is no simple answer to these things.

Sadiq

2500 for me

Sands

always under 4K

cole328

under 4K...and smooooooth throttle (no quick acceleration) until warmed as well once she hits 200 or so, I am in that pedal and never again shift below 4K

Although I usually shift around 4k when the engine is cold (that would be twice a day here), the oil flows pretty freely all the way down to ambient zero (AM cold car/engine/world), so I don't really think there is much problem running it higher. OTOH there really isn't much point in pushing the revs higher for commuting; just wastes gas for little fun. There are times when that fun is everything, however, which is why I drive it every day!

Low RPM without lugging the engine which can be worse that running it high while cold. Water and oil need to get to temp so the metals are at a constant temp level to avoid stress on engine parts.

I shift it like an econo "slush box" until to full temp, then Sport mode on, normal PASM, and I'm off driving the engine the way it sounds best!

When cold I'll short-shift @ 3K, however, once warmed @ 4.5-6k rpm. : )
