Hey Scotty, hopefully I get you to answer this: Should we do an early "break in" oil change at 500-1000 miles on a new vehicle?
Please use the search function. This question has been asked here multiple times, for example:

Although it seems that the advice now given regarding modern vehicle break-in oil changes is that they are not necessary as they were in the olden days, if this is something that concerns you then why not? Over the life of the car the cost is miniscule and you only have one chance to do it. Probably it is something that you would not regret doing, but if you don't do it you may always wonder if you should have. Hmmmm.....
Please follow all the posting instructions. We need to know what you're driving.
What does the owner's manual say? Usually they just say be gentle on it. Don't tow, accelerate hard, etc.
It's a general question about any new car. Should we replace the oil early or not? And forget the owner's manual. Scotty tells us they don't care and would prefer your engine to wear out, so they can sell a new car. Also, I asked about oil, and not how to drive it while it's new.
And forget the owner's manual.
Manufacturers don't care what happens outside of warranty. Problems in the first few years are not very good for business

When it makes you sleeping better, do it as you wish..
I do not see how that first oil-change could harm the new engine.
There are some cars that need an "early" oil change - such as Corvettes that have the dry-sump oil system. Most cars don't really need it..........but if it helps to extend the life of your vehicle, why not?
Every new car I ever bought during the past thirty years got its first oil change by 3,000 miles. Was it necessary? Maybe not - but it gave me good peace of mind. You can never change your oil "too often" - and as much as cars cost today, why not do everything you can to make them last longer?
does it extend life noticeably?
Do you have any evidence like oil analysis results, or is it just superstition?
I have other ways to get warm and fuzzy feelings that don't cost so much money.
