I think he was possibly perpetuating his "tranny rebuild" business with his recommendation. I would recommend you use regular drive (D) unless you are descending a long downhill (prevents mechanical brake burning), towing a trailer and the gear-hunting gets to be an aggravation, or you are preparing to pass a vehicle and want to manually kick-down a gear in anticipation of the pass.

I have heard this reply before and I would like to know what is
physically damaging to a transmission when overdrive is not used?
I drive on city streets where the speed limit is 40mph, and traffic barely go above that because police w/radar are everywhere. I seem to hit red traffic lights every 1/2 mile so shifting into overdrive does not make sense to me.
When I go on the highway, I immediately shift into overdrive because thats what it's there for.
