the majority opinion is that Redline MTL is best. You can buy it at Forte's Car Parts on Moody Street in Waltham. Kevin K says fill once with a straight 20W oil non-detergent and run that for a few days (gently) then drain and fill with final fluid. As for the engine oil it probably makes no difference so I wouldn't bother unless you thought the oil in there got cooked in some sort of turbo episode. The change interval for Mobil 1 is very conservative. You could get 15,000 miles out of it if you wanted, changing the filter once or twice in that interval. That is my plan, anyway. Every 5k miles gets pretty expensive, for little benefit.
