You will find the information you are looking for in your 2005 Owner's Manual (under Before Driving, Break-in Period), but for my 2005 Civic Si (page 110), it states the following:
"Break-in Period
Help assure your vehicle's future reliability and performance by paying extra attention to how you drive during the first 600 miles (1,000 km). During this period:
* Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid acceleration.
* Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km).
* Do not change oil until the scheduled maintenance time.
You should follow these same recommendations with an overhauled or exchanged engine, or when the brakes are relined."
Congratulations on your purchase.
