How long is everyone waiting to change their oil on the LC250?

I'm at 800 miles so it's still being broken in. But I've been seeing other posts & YouTuber's changing their oil at 1K miles, 5K miles, and 10K miles for break in period and suggesting you do the same.
With everyone bagging on the 4Cyl turbo being concerned about reliability this is definitely a good precaution and one I'm thinking of taking. I generally do all my own oil changes anyways. And Toyota will only change them every 10k miles for you with your 2 year service deal.

Am I crazy for wanting to change it before 10K or even 5K miles?
Also for anyone wanting to change their own LC250 oil for the first time or first time on any vehicle would anyone be interested in a Youtube tutorial on how to do it? I'll definitely make one if so.
 
1100 miles complete yesterday, will do it again at 3k, 5k and 5k thereafter.
