Default Newly bought Mazda 5 has been oil changed?

Just bought a 2014 model year mazda 5 in Nov 2014

Date of manufacture is June 2014.

Since this car is 5 months old already, should i take it for oil change despite it has only 700km in it?

Also, i heard that car manufacturer normally uses special oil when the car is new so i shouldn't worry about changing the oil until around Feb/March 2015.

Any thoughts?

Go for six months from date of purchase or 7,500kms. Which ever comes first.

Even though i bought this car in Nov 2014, this car was manufactured in June 2014. I can wait until May 2015 to do my first oil change? is it because the first oil for new car is special oil?

Mazda says the oil isn't special, but they also say the oil shouldn't be changed for at least 6,000kms from new. Something about the oil bedding in, rather than the engine.
