Am I correct in thinking the first service is 10,000 miles ?
should I be changing at least the oil after 1000 miles ? seem to remember being advised to have that done to the Monaro

I would "personally" change the oil way before 10k on a new motor, but yes I was also advised 10k is the first OFFICIAL service.

I wouldnt go shoving the best synthetic oil you can get in it though, just change the mineral oil you have a few times during the first 5 or 6k then go over to the good stuff, this way your engines internals get nicely bedded in where as with top oils the bores can be glazed.
