Congrats on the new car.

Read your owners manual regarding Proper Engine/Car Break In Period. Don't listen to the Dealership nor Salesperson.

In general:

1) Don't exceed 4,200 RPM for the first 2,000 miles
2) Don't lug engine
3) No harsh braking
4) Don't sit in one gear, and just cruise for hours. Up-shift and down shift during the break-in period.
5) As an added precaution, I changed my oil at approx. 1,000 miles. Not required. Only for "peace of mind".
6) Oil should be Mobil 1 0W40

Post some pics ASAP!
