I guess I'm one of those people that over think this but: Mobil 1 shows a high degree of Iron wear in VQ engines. I'm not saying M1 is bad but from I've seen on bobistheoilguy it just doesn't get along with our engine. The Mobil 1 oil filters on the other hand are top-notch.

If you plan on keeping the car for a while; I'd spend the few extra bucks on a good synthetic like Pennzoil Platinum.

What do you plan running for OCI because w/ Redline you could take it out to 10,000 miles OCI. Personally I'd just go with a good synthetic locally available in a big jug (Pennzoil Platinum) and change it out every 5-6k miles.
