Mr.Frank, regarding the oil thing, I think you find that there's some debate whether Honda has put an additive in the factory oil to assist engine break-in for such a high-rev'ing car. Whether true or false, I'd opt to err on the side of caution and just wait until the recommended interval.

Definitely wait on the oil change, keep an eye on the level and top it off when needed with a good quality NON synthetic oil. Believe it or not your engine will get faster. Long story about engine physics, and frictional losses.
