1st Oil Chane?

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

I did the search, but didn't see a lot of meat and many were pretty old.
With today's Ex's when do most think it's a good time for the first oil change. I just rolled 1k and I'm thinking the time is right. On my Acura, many well informed people said to leave it go till the first scheduled one comes up due to the additives in the initial oil charge.

Anything like that with these Infinitis?
It's not the cost that would have me wait till 3k or so, but rather if there is something in this engine's initial oil that would make sense to leave it till 3-4k or change it out now to get those metal shavings or the like out.

Normally, the current oil in your car right now has special additives to protect the internal components for better brake in period. I would rather leave that oil there for a few more months.

Around 3.5k miles .
