First Oil Change

I have a 2012 Challenger SRT8 Manual Transmission. At this point, I only have about 2100 miles on the car. Any advice as to when I should do the first oil change? I assume synthetic unless consensus recommends otherwise.

I did mine @500 and at @2000. My 2011 SRT has 3500 on it now. Since I drive it so infrequently, I will probably change it again at 5000 (which should coincide with the end of my driving season for the car).
