I followed Brucelee's advice because it made the most sense. I religiously followed the break in period and changed the oil at 1500 miles. I change the oil regularly at 7500 miles. Might be overkill, but I want to take care of my engine for the long term for me or for the next buyer.

Otherwise, don't bother.
And change your oil at 7500 intervals IMHO.
Find another dealer if this is indicative of what they know. The "hard break in" theory is nonsense.
