How exactly is this done?

I ride around the hood for a few miles and jump on the highway for 30-40. While on the highway I vary my speed from 60 - 80, jumping from 60 to 80 quickly a number of times, which jumps the revs from about 1100 to 2900 or so. Then I got off the highway and ride side roads and lights for another 5 miles.

That's good?
You will know if you did this right...she will be an oil burner if not carried out properly.

Do not let it interfere with your driving. Just shift into random gears at speed.
