I am using the OEM filters and I changed my oil as such:
1000: Mobile 1 Synthetic 5W-30
4000: Redline Synthetic 10W-30
8000: Redline Synthetic 5W-30

don't go to synthetic at 1k miles. Put oem oil in at ~1500 and go to synthetic at about 3. the reason is that byt 1k the car is not completely broken in, and synthetic is not good for break in. At 3 its safe.

cheers'
