It's not the first time that I've heard that it needs to be beaten once in a while. I believe it too

I think beating up is exaggeration, but occasional WOT is good idea.
Where we drive, we always have steep grades at some time, so our cars drive with open throttle for extended time on them, but if you live in flat state, pushing the gas pedal to at least 75% when entering the freeway might be good habit.
