S and L gears in automatic

Does anyone use these gears? I know downshifting before going downhill will save on break wear, but worried that having my RPMs shoot up to 4000 will lead to problems down the road.

When and how do you use your S and L gears?

I leave it in D. I'd rather replace brake pads than a transmission.

What's this "downhill" thing. I live on the prairies. It's all flat here.
