When for First Oil Change?

[Onwrdigo]

When did you all do your first oil change. I know, I know, the book and the dealers say not until 5,000 miles.

But did anyone do it before then or does anyone have an opinion about doing it at 1,000 miles (even on these new modern cars) to get any metal bits out that may have happened during break-in driving?

Can it hurt anything or cause any problems (other than the ol' wallet if I were to pay for it myself and then get the free 5000 mile one) in the engine, engine seals or anything at all if I did it at 1,000 miles anyway?

Would like to see some opinions on the 2012-2013 owners. Did it change the way it drove/sounds/smoothness on the road?

Just curious. I am sitting at 1,280 miles right now.

Thanks,

O.
