My choice is Penzoil Plat fully synth 5 30W with Bosch oil filter. More importantly, my car currently has 1600 miles on it, when would be the best time to change the factory oil? thanks so much.

While there are no actually stats as what most use here.

There are quite a few that use Redline, Mobil1, Castrol or brands as long as its marked FULL SYNTHETIC since the VVL is dependent on this to keep the valve-train quiet.

I would just change it and recommend 5k interval oil changes.
