We live in a time where people don't keep their vehicles like they used to and manufacturers want us to keep buying new so there is little incentive for them to promote a break-in period/interval.
I used to be into BMWs and when BMW started including the maintenance in their price, the break in period/service went away and all the service intervals went way up. Most of the fluid changes became lifetime.
If it were me, I would vary the RPMs and do a break-in service around 1000 miles draining all the fluids and refilling. However, if you sell/trade-in like most in 5 years then its probably not worth worrying about.
