I know what he is saying in reference to the car adjusting to driving habits. That really only happens in automatic cars where the computer adjust's the shifting patterns to the way you drive. It will feel like a different car between someone who hammers it all the time and grandma. Also, when you disconnect the battery, it erases all the programming and your transmission might even feel like it's slipping because it's readjusting again.

So long story short, with a 6MT it doesn't matter if you crawl or fly all day. Limp mode isn't something you need to worry about... and once you start using synthetic oil, your oil temps will drop quite a bit. When I drove the car hard and on highways doing about 80-90 MPH for extended period of times in the summer, I never saw temps go over 225.
