Unless you're sure of the history, you should change the oil tonight and then every 5k miles. Why gamble?
Enjoy your new car, it's a monster.

i got an oil change today and let me tell you the engine seems more free.
when you do an oil change remember the e55 has two drain plugs one on the front and one on the back of the oil pan. the one in the back holds most of the oil.

Congrats!

Oil is cheap and the car is a beast. Change it 3500-5000.
