First Oil Change: Mobile 1 or Castrol Syntec?

Regardless of the ester comments, I think this thread has actually helped me to make a decision: I'm going to have the dealership do it. Easier, cleaner, no oil to dispose of and no warranty worries.

PS: What the hell is ester?

yes have the dealership do it if you prefer it that way, but bring your own oil that states some where that its an ester base Catagory 4 or 5, (Redline/Amsoil/LucasOil) and they will use the provided oil

Ester oil is synthetic base oil that has been chemically synthesized. Typically ester oils are used in passenger cars. Esters are one of the classes of synthetics Esters are stable molecules, provide good solvency, and provide very good low temperature and high temperature performance in engine oils.
