I did what the manual said, i.e. drive up to 4.500 rpm and 160km/h gor the first 2.000 kms. Also, I was a bit careful with the gas pedal and not accelrating too hard. The main issue is for all the other compnonets (not the engine) to run in, like gearbox, differential, tyres, brakes etc.

I did the first oil change at 7.500 kms. I change oil at 10k, anyway. I am at 29.000 kms now and I have done 3 oil changes.
