I personally vote for wives tale. On brand "B" the oil change is recommended by the service light which in many cases will go 15k ish miles between changes. New GMC's on our lot have oil life indicators that go 7-10k, without synthetic blend oil. Many manufacturers recommend a 7,500 interval. So 10,000 miles and synthetic or sythetic blend, in my opinion, is fine.
As for a break in oil change, modern oil filters pretty much handle it.
It seems more of a philosophical or personal decision than a practical one. What was ever harmed by too much maintenance? I haven't seen any reports on these BB's or anywhere else of any problems with 10k oil changes. Suit yourself and god bless you for caring about your car at all. Many people don't.
