I have also heard of some car compaines put in special oil during your break-in and should not be changed early.
By the way, on the 3rd generation, the manual says the engine takes 5.2 quarts of oil with a new filter. I have found it takes around 5 3/4 quarts of oil. So if a oil change place charges you for 6 quarts of oil, they are correct and they are not ripping you off.

follow toyota's recommendations!
Just traded my 2016 trail at 176,000 miles
only changed the oil every 10,000 as recommended and it ran like new the entire time.
