First oil change

Hi folks,
Before I add any value to the conversation, I'd just like to say that I'm getting a new I20n, WooHoo!

On topic, as an old motorcycle rider, I'll be changing my oil and filter after I do the first 1000k.
There's a couple of reasons I do this, the first is back when I was a lad, new bikes weren't bench run, so to clean out the swarf and other nasties, it was advisable to pick up the bike, ride it home and replace the oil and filter. Ride a few hundred K and do it again.

New vehicles don't have that sort of issue, but my old age OCD demands that I know that xactly what oils in the sump, and that I never mix oils. There's also the fact that one of my joys is working on my car, and with so few options (points, needles, carbies, what are they?) so I'll take the little wins where I can, changing fluids is one of those wins.
I agree, there's no harm in doing it. I did the first oil change at 6 months and it was already quite dark, I wish I'd done it sooner.
