One thing I do on all new engines is to temper the piston rings. The way to do this is after a 100 miles have passed, drive the car with heavy load then let it wind down. I normally have the car in fourth gear at about 1,000 rpm (30 mph), then acclerate hard to about 4,000 rpm (70 mph), then let it wind down 1,000 rpm. Repeat a total of 10 times.
The oil change at 1,000 miles, as the other post listed, is a good idea. I always check the oil level at each fuel fill up to, just to make sure there isn't a consumption problem.
Regards,
Jason
