I agree with the change the filter the first time, but only because of the mileage.
I for one do not do the line exchange, I feel it is much more of a hassle, especially if I have a drain plug.
Just much easier to drain and fill than mess with lines, filling and draining (especially if by yourself).
My F150 did not have a drain plug, so I was going to do a filter change the first time anyway (168,000 miles and it had never been changed, filter or fluid). I added a drain plug when I had the pan off.
I did the initial drain and filter change, then did drain and fill @ 500 miles, another drain and fill 1500 miles later, and now do a drain and fill every 10,000 miles on it.
My Scion, I did a drain and fill (came with drain plug) @ 30,000 miles, then did a filter change (and fluid change) @ 50,000 miles. Will do another drain and fill every 25,000 miles from now on (may change the filter @ 100,000 miles because of time, probably another 7-8 years from now).
My Santa Fe and mom's Soul I plan on doing a drain and fill every 25,000 miles (not sure if they have serviceable filters or not, need to look that up).
