I normally shift to higher gear at 2800 to 3000rpm.
My question is:
After a cold start (not temperature cold but starting the car in the morning after it has been sitting for 8-10 hours), is it still okay to shift at 3000rpm or is 3k rpm a high enough rpm that can cause wear to the engine during the first few minutes or miles till the engine warms up?
At the same time I am afraid of lugging shifting at lower rpm like 2500.
So is it better to shift after a cold start at max 2500 rpm for the first 2-3 miles or is it still safe to shift at 3000rpm from get go?
