Personally, I use Royal Purple after personally seeing it's advantages on the racetrack. I trust it. Just my opinion though.
I just ordered a case (12 quarts) of Royal Purple 0W40 on Amazon, as well as a Mann filter... as I have every intention of doing the first oil change around 1500 miles.

Just to follow up on this, my under hood sticker, as well as the Owners Manual, recommended 0W30.
