It's more that Factory oil BECOMES garbage as it fills with shrapnel. Id always change the FF ASAP, just on the slight off-chance that some particles were left behind from casting/machining etc.
I see the point of this somewhat... Assuming a simple oil flow path, though, how does said garbage recirculate around the motor to do any damage? Shouldn't it get picked up by the pump and immediately stopped in the filter?
The oil filter goes into bypass often.
