A bunch of questions on buying a new Honda.

Hey guys I just bought a 2008 Honda Element. I have not received delivery yet but I have a bunch of questions. I have never owned a brand new car so I have a bunch of questions.

1. What oil does Honda use in it from the factory? Weight? Synthetic, blend, conventional?

2. Should I leave it in until the maintenance minder says to change it (usually around 5000 miles) or do it a little sooner? The car is a 2008 brand new so it probably has been sitting for 6 months or so right?

3. Break in. Vary rpm, no steady driving, put a little load on the engine every now and then. Sound good?

4. The car will come to me with probably about 90 miles. It is not to late for proper break in correct? Who knows what happened in the first miles before I get it.
