Folks,
I have had my Tucson Hybrid for about 2 months and 1200 miles. In the old days, we used change the oil on a new car around this time, is that a good idea with the Tucson? I was thinking about it for that reason and also because my car was build over a year ago, so there a chance that the oil is a year old.

Any thoughts?

I agree with you. I have 89 miles on my Hybrid and I plan on changing my own oil and filter at about 500 miles. I've read about owners finding metallic particles in the oil filter housing.
