Thanks for the advice guys. So when an engine idles then, it doesn't get very good lubrication? I'm assuming this is OK because it is in a no load condition. The only time I really would like to lug a little is in stop and go (in 2nd gear), or at around 45 mph (in 5th gear).
From what I understand low rev high torque situations are most stressful on components, but if you rev a little lower, (especially with a turbo), you're introducing less torque.
It's amazing that the owners' manual doesn't say anything about shift points, gear ratios, lugging. If anything does happen to a transmission or engine they should be held more liable for this oversight.
