Default Oil Changes question

SO its about time for my first oil change in my new ram. I usually changed oil in my other vehicles around 3k-5k miles (depending on how hard i drove the vehicle) but they were also 4 cylinders. I just wondering if i should stay with the same ways, or when does everyone else change their. I know its a stupid question just dont want to F*** up my new ram.
