I would not worry one bit. It will not harm your engine at all. If anything, maybe wait till 7000 miles.

Just check your oil levels periodically.

A few extra miles won't hurt. I had my first oil change at 4000. Some recommend keeping the original factory oil in to at least 3750 and other say keep it in for as long as 7500. Who knows? Just make sure it's not low.

I changed mine at 4300 miles. No worry.....Many wait until between 4500 - 5000 miles for the first one.

first change was 5500 miles. but just because you aren't going to get it changed right now (which I suggest you wait another thousand or two), make sure that you have oil in there as the manual states - it will burn oil!
