Here's a little guide a member (ntechnic) of this forum wrote up a while back.

Break-in guide

Also, another good guide to go by would be not to rev the engine too high (3k+ ) until your engine oil is at operating temp. Since our cars don't have a coolant temp gauge or oil temp gauge, waiting 15-20 minutes after driving should leave your engine oil at its operating temp.
