You are saying I need to switch up the gears or RPM on the highway?

I should have added that to my list of should dos - yes, change the RPM if you can. For my manual cars I drive in 3rd for a while, 4th, 5th, and 6th - for the automatic, I would just change up the gears.
and... no issues with any of my new cars being picked up anywhere from 6 to 16 hours away from my house (since 2008 all of my cars were picked up out of state)...
and... people pick their cars up in Germany and at the PCD here in South Carolina and put them on cruise control and drive all the way home or on the autobahn, and the fact is, these engines are amazing and while there are lots of things you can do to break them in properly (opinions vary here of course), the fact is, they rarely blow up from any of the multitude of ways used to break them in
