AK, it's really not too long for the first oil change. These days, there are not "too many particles" that break loose in a fresh engine from a major manufacturer - engines are machined to much tighter tolerances today. If there were particles "flowing around that can damage the internals", Nissan wouldn't want the warranty problems (the oil cooler debacle is proof of that) and would tell you to change the oil much sooner.
But you certainly can't do any harm by changing the oil sooner than the recommended 3750 miles!
