No need for either... I pay extra for Red Line for engines I invest $15k+ into, but not a stock engine that's still under a factory warranty. There really is no advantage or extra insurance, I'd put a wager on that.

Mobil 1, Castrol Syntec, Pennzoil Platinum, take your pick. If you're ultra-picky, there are Group IV oils available on the shelves of any auto store.
