Default Quick Oil Question

What is the factory fill brand of oil used in the WRX? I would like to stick with dino oil for about 6-8k before switching to Mobil1. And I would like to use the same brand of dino till then. My dealer uses Pensoil(sp)!! No way am I puttting that into my engine. I heard it was Havoline? thanks

For my MY01 RS, my dealer uses Penzoil 10W-30.

I am going to switch to Mobil 1 for the next oil change.

I put Mobil 1 in for the 1st oil change. I my opinion, if you're going to use synthetic, use synthetic.

I'm sure they use some special concoction that is put in at the factory and not available at any store. If you're going with synthetic, it is ok to do it at your first oil change. There is no need to wait.
