I'm pretty certain your car will have long life oil in it anyway so I'd personally not bother dropping the oil until 12 months or 10k as per the other opinions above.
Unless you're planning on keeping the car for years and years and running it to starship mileage.
Some highly strung cars benefit more frequent oil changes and some owners just have OCD, but for general use (if you're not doing track days) just stick with the factory recommendations until it gets a bit older.
If something is going to fail at lowish mileage then it's because it's a faulty part and warranty will cover it.
Even MH's 1500 mile oil change didn't prolong his turbo's life.
