I asked my service manager about an early oil change.  He said it was
a good idea.  I'd go for 1000-1500, then 3750 then every 3750.
My dealer also offers a $19.95 oil change and the check the obvious
at the same time.  The early change is also a good idea since it
allows them to check for any leaks etc..
