First Oil Change

I'm sure this forum as talked about this already, I just couldn't find it during my quick scan of threads.

I have >3400 miles on my truck and talked to the service manager about getting my first oil change. (This will be free at the dealer.) He said that these trucks don't need an early first oil change and that I should wait till the truck tells me to change oil. The DEF is at less than 50% so I wouldn't think it should be too much longer.

Any Pros and Cons on getting the first oil change early?

I got mine changed at 4800 miles because I was leaving town on a 1800 mile trip.
