My first reaction is to suggest you take Toms advice.
However as a second opinion, I would suggest that you simply treat the engine kindly for the first few miles. (Was nearly going to correct with kms and it is nice to not have to jog old memories.
)
The old idea was to not exceed a certain RPM, but the more sensible approach is to not put too heavy a load on the engine. With an automatic, all you have to do is keep the loud pedal away from the floor for a while.
