That's your warning not to exceed the marked RPM until your vehicle warms up. No need to waste gas and energy letting it idle for 10 minutes - simply drive conservatively (within the specified RPM) until the lines return back to their normal operating position.

Agreed that is what I do. Just turn it on and wait about 10 secs then drive it conservatively. It increases the engine life.

What engine do you have? I thought redline was closer to 6500 not anywhere near 7k... I dont think you're remembering correctly...
