Then get an oil analysis. I seriously doubt your fuel dilution would remotely approach a level that would give cause for concern, but you're just guessing (and wasting money) until you get the analysis.

The reason I did my 1st oil change at 1,800 miles had nothing to do with
the oil itself breaking down.. It had to due with me wanting to get rid of all the
tiny metal particles that were probably in the oil from the break in process. From this
point on I'm going to change my oil every 3,000-3,500 miles..
