I guess I just drove it easy for the first day, then drove normally. I put synthetic in at 3K miles.

I am driving mine easy, babying it, until 1,000 miles, at which point I shall put full synthetic oil in it. I currently have 800 miles.

Just drive it normally and follow the book maintenance recommendations. It'll be fine.

The way i would've broke my car in on its first miles, for the first 750miles dont keep at a steady speed like on the highway constantly accelerate and such, and dont go above 3,000rpms, after you hit 750miles do the first oil change, now the next 750 miles same idea but dont go above 4500 rpm's and when you hit 1500 miles total do a final oil change and then next oil change is what ever interval you follow every 3-5k miles.

my next new car im doing this, i didn't with my yaris first car haha, but i would do an oil change right when i get home and go synthetic, but thats just me everyone has their opinions :)

Before I accepted delivery, I took it for a test-drive and give it a couple hard pulls from 20-60 going around a round-about. In effect, the abbreviated version of Moto's break-in method. Switched to Amsoil at 1500 miles, haven't looked back. Car still purrs at 70k miles now, no issues.
