it all depends on the person... some people will tell you that you already waited too long others will tell you that you are supposed to change it now and others will say you can wait keep going and change it at 5000.

This is what I have heard as well. There will be lots of contaminants in your oil because the engine was new. It is best to get those out of the engine ASAP and replace it with fresh oil. After the first change, it is safe to follow the interval in the manual. I won't make any recommendations on an increased interval because as stated before, everyone has a different opinion.

As a single voice amongst many, I recommend you go ahead and do an oil change next opportunity. Then proceed with your OCI of choice. I use 5K miles as my OCI for my DD.
