It has been discussed to death. If you are still worried, just change it at 1500 mi, 5,000 mi, and every 5,000 mi afterwards.
At 10,000 mi intervals, it's still more often than the 2003-2005 recommendation of 15,000 mi. which was reportedly changed because checking other fluid levels and things were deemed too infrequent at the 15,000 mi schedule, not the oil change causing the change.
All the above advice is coming from someone who used to change oil in my Saab every 90 days, even if I only drove 1,500 mi.
Also remember there's the SID which sometimes alerts you to more frequent oil changes than 10,000 mi.
