I was also concerned about going 10,000 miles between oil changes. I did change it at 3,000 miles because I was taught that there are metal shaving in a new engine which will cause it to burn oil if they aren't flushed. Don't know if its true but it was worth the peace of mind.

By the way my Ford dealership charges $29.00 for an oil change. You might want to shop around.
