I keep the best Dino oil in it, do it NOW! Too soon? No such thing.

Changed mine the first time at 1k miles. Then 6k and whenever the notification pops up after that. You aren't going to do any harm changing it early - just change it. When you consider the price of the vehicle, it is a very cheap precaution.

Changed mine at 3K. The drain plug was loose from the factory and I removed it with my fingers. CHECK your PLUGS if your Jeep is new. I'm very fortunate it didn't rattle out on the interstate.
