Question Oil

So after searching for about 45 mins on a Sunday night I cannot find any good thread about oils for the G specially the RevUp engines. I got my car 5 days ago and the dealer told me that the just did the oil change and everything but that's the dealer So I decided to get an oil change just in case. I have come down to 2 synthetic oils that I think would be best but I need your advice guys please help. 1 is the Q motor oil, and I also was thinking royal purple. If you have anything better I should be using could you please tell me. And one other quick question the clear corner light I want to order them, however I was thinking of doing the ones with the black plastic on the button so during the day it looks kinda black but at night when the lights come on it actually shows. Could you guys give me a good site to order from please the only one I found was e-bay and I have never had a great experiance from e-bay.

Thank you all!!!

The VQ35 engine likes Syntec, and Castrol 0-30 in particular. See this thread for some data on oils.

I have been using Mobil 1 for 50k+ miles and no issues... I am switching to Royal Purple in my 500+whp Mustang.
