I use nothing but Mobile1, and the dealer does the work so I have a history of maintenance performed.

I like Pennzoil Platinum and NAPA Gold filters for mine. You really can't go wrong with any modern synthetic oil that meets specs. I'd stay away from Fram filters, though. Just...don't.

How many miles? I got a magnetic drainplug and replaced the factory one. They also sell them for the filter, but I never tried out one of those. Did my first change with less than a 1,000 miles.
