As a new bike owner, you are making yourself crazy worrying about all kinds of things. The chain and the bike are meant to be outside - it is very unlikely it needs to be changed and with only 3000 miles on it, very unlikely it is stretched or has been abused that much. Just clean it with kerosene, lube it with Dupont Teflon spray or 90 wt gear oil, or whatever you want, and adjust it to the proper tension and look at it and clean it every once in a while as a regular maintenance item. Instead of waisting money on a new chain, invest it is a motorcycle riding/safety course, you'll be much better off in the long run.
