If you go Mobil, use the 0w40. Other good options are Castrol Syntec 0w30 European Formula (from Autozone), Pennzoil Platinum 10w30 (no idea about Pennzoil Ultimate), Amsoil 5w40 European Formula, Castrol Edge 0w40. Do not use the common M1 5w30/10w30.

Good oil filters: Bosch, K&N, Mobil 1, Purolator PureONE, Wix, Amsoil. I use the Mobil 1 M1-301.

Filters to avoid, avoid, avoid: Fram, STP, AC Delco
