You misunderstood....

I feel that changing your oil at the FIRST 1K miles should be done. Not waiting 4500 for the very first oil change.

For the normal driver, after the first 1K, I don't see why waiting 3-4K every change AFTER the first will be fine. My point was simply that doing the very first one should be done sooner than later.
