Hey Scotty, I recently bought a 2021 Honda Accord sport 2.0t. I just finished the break in period of 500 miles. I started to push down on the accelerator every once in a while to have some fun, I don’t floor it but I do go at a pretty high rpm. Would this damage the engine or would it only get damaged when red lining it?
You put strain on the powertrain components. It does not do harm in a short run but of you keep doing it, it will harm. Realize that going at highway speed does not mean you have to use high rpm.
Do so at your own risk.
Why the down vote, Keve? If you want to beat a new car by redlining it, you do so at your own risk.
what good reason do you have for doing that?
try running flat out everywhere you go instead of walking.
get the idea?
The computer will stop you from revving the engine to the point where you break it. Keep in mind engines are designed to go through so many millions of revolutions before reaching certain levels of wear. Beat on your engine often, and it will wear faster over less distance. That's why you don't buy used Mustang GTs and Camaro SS's without having mechanics look at them. People beat the crap out of them and an 80k engine may have the equivalent wear of 160k+ from the abuse. The same thing will happen to your Honda Accord Sport if constantly driven like that.
I do r ember scotty say vehicles going highway speeds were better for ther engine I believe he said it in a short.
I think he said stop and go traffic wears it out. But hey you have a Honda not a Hyundai you wont end up with smoke coming from the hood and coolant leaking LOL
