I make oil detergents and additives for my career. You should always do the 1st oil change on a new engine at 1 thousand miles. At that point the break in process is complete. All that metal and debris needs to get out of the engine early. After that I do oil changes every 5-7k dependin on what type of vehicle and how it is driven.
Alao color has NOTHING to do with oil quality. Certain additives get dark with use. Some turn red\pink and some even get more amber. Dont rely on looking at it, because most people dont know what they are looking at.
