Are you certain that moly is the only difference between factory fill and aftermarket fills? I can tell you I am not.
I remember having a talk once, long ago, with my trusted mechanic about changing factory-fill early for exactly that reason (this was when my Integra was new). He said he had no idea what was in the factory-fill, but he did say that changing the oil early was pointless. He said factory-new engines are surgically-clean inside; and, even if there did happen to be anything in there, it would get trapped by the oil filter the first time the engine was started up.
