yeah read the owner's manual. keep in mind that break-in is somewhat a debatable hot topic.

I don't have the manual in front of me, but I recall the break-in period is 600 miles. You shouldn't VTEC your car during this time, and you should vary your RPMs a fair amount during that time. It's a very good idea to read the manual, because it's good advice.
