All the new cars I've had since about 2000 all came with roughly the same the instruction:

Avoid excess revs in any gear, some had a specific limit for the frst 240 miles, 500 miles and others didn't.
Keep the revs changing, don't stay at any fixed speed.
Really avoid driving in a high gear at low revs (labouring).

All didn't require a first oil change, the BMW 320 and Mercedes E350 first service were both at 12 months.

The +4 has a ford engine, Mazda gearbox and a Differential from a component supplier to GM in Thailand.

In the absence of any other instruction I'd probably change the oil and filter at 6 months and for the first 1000 miles be generally kind to the motor and not thrash it or make it suffer! .
