I very rarely ever put any of my transmissions, BA/BF/EL/AU/NC/ED/EB into power mode as it's not necessary. In my opinion you'd do more overall wear to the engine and driveline if you did.

My EL has 280,000KM with the original transmission, 200,000KM of that being Nepean HWY stop start yuppy-area daily driving with the previous owner. My AU has 253,000KM on the original transmission also.

Ask how many taxi drivers use power mode? lol It may increase the fun factor of driving, but i see absolutely no reason why it would improve the longevity of the components, quite the opposite in fact.

LOL indeed.
