Having the same issue right now - I'm at 5 hours on the motors and thought I'd call today to schedule something around when I'd be at 10 hours (two weeks or so). Dealership is booked for a month for service, so I'll have well over 10, probably closer to 20-25, by the time I bring it in. Appears I shouldn't be that concerned about it.

My dealer told me they thought the ten your service was too soon. He recommends 20-25. I think the theory with all early engine oil changes is it there is a shaving or foreign object from manufacture in there you want it out. I probably wouldn't worry about it.

Just do it yourself. It's even easier to change the oil and filter in these things than it is cars since there's no drain plug.

Dealer told me 10-20 hours is fine, even a little over 20
