Drive it back!

Stay off the Interstate, don't keep it at a constant speed or RPM for extended periods of time (no cruise control), and don't exceed 4500RPM. Other than these nos, drive it like you would normaly drive.

I added one other thing to my 600 mile trip home; I stopped about once an hour and shut the car down, took a break and then started it back up to speed again; going through all the gears at a brisk acceleration but <4500RPM.
