If you change the oil at 500 miles, at least put in some Liqui Moly MOS2 (amazon or napa parts store).
Why? There is a solid theory/practice of moly being able to prevent hot spots forming on the newly machined cylinder bore surfaces and rings.
See this post recently from a Honda new-engine discussion:

The factory fill oil is not the issue, it is the high moly assembly lube used they want retained in the oil. Doing the first oil change early can cause hot spots to form in the engine.
I do like the idea of changing the oil out early like you're planning. Also maybe get a magnetic drain plug such as Gold Plug or Dimple (strong magnets on those). Look to use a Fram Ultra oil filter to get the smallest junk out.
Black Cherry paint! Luv it. Wow, nice. Buick is nailing it.
I just got GM's new 2018 Equinox, and I agree SUV's are not as much fun to drive as one of those.
And like others have pointed out, the newest "dexos1 Gen2" oils just coming out now (shelves at walmart have them already) are meant to combat the possibility of LSPI in those 2.0T DI GM engines. Only use that stuff, any major brand, plus about a half bottle of Liqui Moly MOS2 until a few thousand miles have accumulated.
