Just drive it normally. Change the oil once or twice before the 10K dealer maintenance. Suggest Mobil 1 0W40. Purolator PureOne oil filters are very good ($5.99 most likely).
Avoid fuels with alchohol, this will reduce power and decrease MPGs.
If you are a DIY type, at some point, remove the rotor indexing bolts and replace with neversieze and tighten very lightly.
Many have replaced stock brake pads with EBC pads to reduce dust and to avoid pads and rotors being worn out fast.
I think the stuff about varying engine speeds had no merit with these engines.
The tires will take a few miles to settle in.
