Servicing the engine oil and there intervals will vary depending on the make of the engines. Some will say first service should be done at 8 hours and some say at 5 hours, with filter or without. The frequency or oil changes after that can also be different depending on operating conditions ( if extremely dusty or sandy ) Check the manual and do what the manual says to do. It will also tell you what type and viscosity oil to use.
