If you are worried about the current oil having something in it that helps brake in, then change the filter to get any grit, metal bits or whatever might be in there out and top off the oil with the recommended oil, or call your dealer and ask them if the brake in oil is special and needs to stay in there.
Most new cars, in the owners manual tell you to change your oil every 7,500 miles, unless you are driving in a way that causes extreme wear, like stop and go driving, towing, off road driving, if you look at it from a time standpoint rather then a miles standpoint then you will notice that you should change your oil closer to every 120-150 hours of use.
