Wayne,
I would stick with Mobil One through the end of your warranty. They will deny your motor/turbo life if they sense and may even test your oil if you run into problems. I have noticed the OE filter is the best fit and the 6607 Oil filters available are multi application and are too long and skinny to fit properly. The sealing ring works although OE is best that I have found. Also make sure you get yourself a crush washer for the oil plug. Hope that helps.

I just bought a greddy TI exhaust and perrin dp and cat delete soo warrenty isnt a worry lol.. I will just go with mobil one since it seems no one really uses royal purple. My last car was a wrx and alot of people just used royal purple. i have about 8 quarts left thats why i was wondering if royal purple was ok.. Thanks for all the help guys!

stick with mobil 1 that way youre warranty cant get denied just because of oil. do yourself a favor if youre going to have the dealer do it bring your own oil. i just had my first oil change yesterday and it was 65 bucks. they used an oem filter but in my other two cars i used a K and N filter and was very happy with it. also they did change the plug thing whatever its called (i forget already).
as a side note i only had 2500 miles on my evo and not only was my oil low, but it was black dealer said nothing was wrong with it though. weird
