Default Break in oil? Dealer changed oil before break in

Hey guys,
New Si owner here. I purchased an '09 leftover and since the car had been sitting at the dealer for a certain amount of time they changed the oil during the PDI. The salesman said that honda uses regular petro oil now from the factory instead of break in oil? Im just getting scared after reading all of the info online about how honda advises the first oil change after 5,000mi with the break in oil. Nothing in the manual talks about break in oil. Im going to ask the service dept what the case really is.
Does anyone know what the story is? Do the dealerships have the additive or does honda only use it from the factory? I am hoping the dealer did not screw my engine.

Thanks.
