This is what I have heard as well. There will be lots of contaminants in your oil because the engine was new. It is best to get those out of the engine ASAP and replace it with fresh oil. After the first change, it is safe to follow the interval in the manual. I won't make any recommendations on an increased interval because as stated before, everyone has a different opinion.
