Break-In a New Car

Guys,
I bought my car off the lot with 50miles on it. No idea how those 50 miles were driven.

I have driven it quite "normal" since I got. However, two times I punched it on the highway and the RPMS hit 7000 for a brief period of time, say 2 secs both time.

I know the manual says not to go over 3000 rpms, so is this a potential issue if I touched 7000 rpm if only briefly?

I just don't want any oil burning issued down the road. My last care burned oil and it was a nightmare.
