I've never owned a brand new car, or newer car for that matter. So I don't know how engine manufacturering has come along but it used to be a pretty universally accepted fact that you should do your first oil change after roughly 1000 miles after engine break in to flush out any metal wear from the break in period. Maybe machining has come a long way and with the tighter tolerances of today's engines, it no longer requires that but I dont know.

When you did your oil change did you notice any shiny particles in your oil or did it feel graining at all?

I am tempted to change my oil at 1k just for peace of mind even if it's a placebo lol.

That requirement has been gone for quite some time. There is no need to change oil until Mfg says to. My BMW was under warranty and they would not let me change the oil until 7500 miles, my Passport will get it's first oil change next week at about 5500 miles (50% oil life remaining). Go with the mfg recommendation...
