Picking up a new Boxster tonight, what if any thing would you recommend for the first 500, 1000, 5000 miles? (I searched for previous posts, did not see anything)

Any concerns on max RPM, or braking for some time/distance ?

I have typically used Mobil 1 in the past on various Japanese and Detroit gas and diesels after a 1000 mile wear in on a good organic oil.

Would a tire L<-->R rotation be advised as well ?

We plan to have it shipped via the Dealer in about 6 weeks to our new home in San Jose, any special prep other than getting the fuel level down to 1/4 or so ?
