Even if I were compulsive, I'd wait until the car was at least 18 months old to change oil.
Some say that the factory fill is a lighter Elf 0W-30 and that lighter is better for a brand new engine.
In the old Saabs of 20 years ago, they specified an oil change at 1000 miles. If you are compulsive, I'd change it at 1000-2000 miles. I am slightly compulsive. I changed the oil at 3000 miles the first time and 9000 miles (half way between 3000 mi and the free service at 15000 mi). Thereafter, I changed it at 50% on the SID or approx. every 7500 mi.
