High or Low RPMS
This might be a stupid question but Okay I own a 2008 mazda3 4door 4cyl and I was with my friend in his car and he shifts at like 5rpms I wasnt sure if that is okay for your car or not?
I shift at 3-4rpms.
Just wondering if its okay to do that or if it will hurt the car in the long run.

I don't see why you would need to rev to 5k during normal driving, but it shouldn't do any harm to the motor.. It might increase wear on the motor a little bit, and it's definitely wasting more gas. I shift right at 3k - 3.5k during normal driving conditions.

depending on how low your RPMs are when you're gassing it, you may be putting high load on the engine; which isn't exactly good for it either.
shifting 3-4k is perfectly fine though, and is probably the best range.
