We're talking about the first oil change, after the first change the frequency shouldn't hurt it. It would be a waste of money to change the oil every 2k miles, unnecessary unless you track your car.
New engine needs friction to wear down all the parts for optimum performance/seal. If the oil is too slippery, it will take longer for parts to break-in appropriately. Just wait until 7,500 and stop thinking about it, you'll get less grey hair.
