Planning first oil change @ 500 or 1000mi

As I've done with most of my new cars, I plan on changing the factory oil at 500 or 1000 miles. I feel that getting that break-in oil out asap is a good thing, and I find the motor gets quieter and feels nicer after that first change.

Can anyone give me a good reason not to change the oil that early? I'm assuming Toyota does not use some special break-in oil that I need to keep in there for the first 5000 miles.

I plan on using Toyota oil for the first change (I know, I know, price gouging), then switching to another brand after.

Thanks all!
