Here is a good vid discussing the new 10k mile recommendation vs the older 5k.
A bit lengthy but worth the watch, especially the cost comparison most of us don't pay much attention to.
Note that it is geared toward Toyotas
He also recommends doing the first oil change at 1k miles as does Mercedes on new vehicles.
Frankly, I do the first oil and filter at under 100 miles and have yet to have an engine burn any oil. My Ford 5.4 P/U with over 300k miles burns no measurable amount at 5k mile change intervals.
After all it is a PITA to add oil between changes.
