I'm usually under 3000, i never did full-throttle but 2 times i went to 5000 :

o One when i putted the car in sport mode, i don't know why but the car jumped at 5000 right away so i let it go down

o One when i thought i was on [D] and i was on [P] and when i started the car at the light stop it did a big Vraoummmm and it goes to 5000

In both cases, the car was hot and the temperature was more than 100C

I hope i didn't abuse my baby ...

For information : I check the oil level and i'm at the maximum.

Anyway, i called my dealership and told him they should really check if there is something wrong cause if it's the case, it would probably cost less to fix it now than to wait to break the engine !

Thank you guys, i'll keep you posted
