This is what I did as well. An oil change is what, $40 and an hour of your time? Or $60 at a shop? I had a junkyard engine that I put in my 4Runner which technically didn't even need a break in period or oil change but if I lodged something loose or there was a bit of metal wear from parts breaking in, did I really want that floating around for another 2500+ miles?
The oil change just prevents anything bad from happening from may be carried in the oil.
