I think what he means is dont use high rpms. And this is good avdvice. But yea u certainly dont wanna go the other extreme and change gears earlier than usual. U should drive normally, changing gears at the same rpm as u normally would, but using about 3/4 of the power you normally would, so a bit slower acceleration to the upshift point, until the engine is somewhere inside operating temp range.
Perhaps what these tossers should be saying when they sell the vehicles, is actually yo idle the engine for aminute before shutdown, as all diesels all have turbos now amd turbos need some nice cool oil flow to cool down so the hot oil doesnt sit in the stationary hot turbo and heat up to the point it breaks down.
