That's just about verbatim what the dealer told me when I got mine last spring. Heck I had it up around 7k rpms on my test drive with all of 62km on the odometer lol

I did change the oil over to synthetic by 1000km and put in a magnetic drain plug to catch any debris from break in.

Modern cars are built to much better tolerances than those of yesteryear and don't need the same treatment. If we were talking about a rebuilt engine...that's a different story.
