People that know what it means would not rev a new engine to 8,000 rpm.
This is how I brake in my cars(I've owned over 25 cars). Accelerate slow, shift at 2,500 rpm, once in a while accelerate(in any gear)till about 4k & then lift foot off gas pedal. That opens up the rings & helps the rings get a great seal. Change break in oil at about 1,500 rpm. Just enough to break in engine & get rid off any loose material in the oil. I mostly always shift at apx 2,500 rpm. Except for passing or getting on the highway or racing, I never accelerate fast/rev high for no reason or stupid reasons like listening to my exhaust. period.

People that accelerate/high RPM often, will wear out their rings much sooner & put more wear on their bearings/all parts..

I have two nissans near 180,000 miles & almost burn no oil & oil stays clean.
