+1 on OEM filter and crush washer, ~$8 or at most $9.

+1 on first oil change at 7,500 miles (6.5k if the manual was changed). The factory fill has some anti-wear ingredients, theory is that those can 'treat' the surfaces of interest in the engine for longer life. I'm also a proponent of following factory instructions on break in (under 4k rpm first 1k miles, no constant speed). There are literally thousands of people who will vehemently oppose this paragraph, do whatever gives you warm fuzzies.
