Yea. This goes for just about any gas engines. (Don't know about deisel).
'Loading' the engine (i.e. in gear, driving) below 2k usually does more harm to the engine than people think. It's really not good to drive an engine like that. There is no torque and the engine really struggles quite a bit.
I've never understood the people who brag about having never taken their engine above 4k - that's not good. Nothing gets properly warm.
Take care!
