I think that the key to engine longevity is a proper break in period (as described in the manual) and then a proper warm up each time you start out cold. Until the engine warms up (about 1 mile or so of driving) I avoid heavy throttle inputs and keep the rpm's under 4000. As has been stated above, there is more wear on the engine when it is cold, so warming it up will minimize this.
