I don't have ramps, but I do have a good floor jack and a set of jack stands, so I think I'll be good. Any recommendations on when I should do my first change? The car just hit 1,700 miles.

Check to make sure your floor jack is low enough to get under the front of the car. Mine isn't, so my quick fix was to buy ramps instead of spending $200+ for a real nice low profile jack (which I will do eventually).
As far as the first change... do it whenever. I'd check your oil levels now to see what the burn rate is like and also check the condition of the oil. You may want to change it sooner rather than later.
You'll probably have a bit of oil burn for the first several thousand miles. I think I stabilized at little to no burn per 1,000 miles after my second oil change.
