Way too early to change. This is not the 1970's, I doubt he would find any metal bits in the oil and if he did he'd need a electron microscope to see them.Change it now. You want to get all the break in metal bits out of the engine and have clean new fully synthetic oil asap since you are the 1st owner and doing oil changes religiously every 5k miles or sooner after that will keep your investment reliable.
I strongly disagree, but you do you. The object here is engine longevity and reliability. Very stupid to skimp on oil changes that cost barely anything. Oil is cheap, engines are not and unless you are leasing aka renting or plan on trading or selling every few years you are doing yourself a huge injustice. Treat things well and it will treat you well in return.Way too early to change.

Nobody's skimping, just saying 2200 is too soon especially since the engine has factory moly oil.I strongly disagree, but you do you. The object here is engine longevity and reliability.

I don't have a dog in this hunt but here's UOA from brand new to 40k miles to illustrate the "wear metals" present in oil (parts per million) for mine.Way too early to change.

Yes, that is correct. So, added all together (the metals) were 151 parts per MILLION (first oil change) versus 76 parts per MILLION on the fourth (30k mi service). Yes, the number is 2x the parts per MILLION. So instead of one spec of metal there are two specs of metal. Or to put it another way, if you think of a fully loaded 747 full of crew, 400 passengers, 700 carry on's, 300 checked bags, cargo and 50,000 gallons of fuel weighing a total of one million pounds. The difference is one checked bag versus two checked bags out of the whole plane. Not much difference as far as being worried to get that "break in oil" out of the engine early. (IMHO)Your oil analysis shows elevated Iron, copper and aluminum at your first oil change, 2x to 12x the 40k readings. Those are wear products from the engine.
I'm old school as well on the first oil changes. I've been doing that since I got my first new car over 50 years ago. I can honestly say I've never had an engine failure or an engine that burned oil in all that time. Some had minor leaks, but they didn't start leaking until well into their old age (sort of like me....lol) Anyway, regardles of the latest tech, I still do the first few changes early on, which, if nothing else, gives me peace of mind...at a very low cost. Ultimately, it's a personal choice I guess.For me, I always change the oil the first time at 1000 miles, then again at 5000 miles and then per the manual. That and a "break-in" driving style I use results in an engine that runs well and doesn't burn oil. I spend a little more money, but I like the results.
Here is mine as well from the ‘19 RAV4, just a smaller snapshot (2500 to 10000 miles, and 10000 to 20000 miles). No UOA for what the factory fill was.I don't have a dog in this hunt but here's UOA from brand new to 40k miles to illustrate the "wear metals" present in oil (parts per million) for mine.
Not much difference first oil change to second.
