You can go any 5W30 you'd like, including Mobile 1. Just know, its not a FULL synthetic. If you want one of those, the recommended brand would be Redline, due to the ester additives that these VQ motors like apparently.
M1 Extended Performance 15K is a full syn...it's what I've used...including their filters.

Even then...I don't have any reason to think M1 won't deliver as good or better when compared to what is also commonly available (ie, walmart).

With redline and such, I worry about the ester base absorbing too much moisture and so on, that they were designed for 1-2 races before being changed out. I know races are hard on the engines, but, my point being is that, for the long term (3750 or more miles / 3 or more months), that it won't do as well as something like M1 or similar oils.
