ALSO, very important, is it true if I do go really fast and before I go home , I should slow down my car for at least 20 minutes so the V8 can rest?
All I can say is..... Slacker! Or are you on a lease?

Having owned a 2004 Lotus Esprit with twin turbos, I always let the engine run for a few minutes after a spirited drive to ensure the oil did not start to coke inside the turbos, same goes for the X6.

Had 42,000 miles on the last X6 in 2.5 years.
