If that's all the mileage you have on it, then absolutely change the oil. I would change the oil as soon as the break-in period is over (1200 miles). After that, I change every 5K miles. Lots of people do less than 5K. Manual recommends 7500. I was about 2K into my last oil change when I had an impromptu track day at which I heated up the oil enough to compromise it (>260F) so I changed it a couple of days later.

I love that Wal-Mart has 5 qts Mobil 1 for $25 all the time. My oil changes are less than $40
