That IC looks pretty beat up to be the cars first oil change? I assume this is a used car purchase and your first oil change on the car. What year and miles on it?
Bought it used with 23k miles on it. I daily drives it to wrk about 30 min back in forth on the freeway. So I changed the oil at 26k with 530 valvoline. No idea what was in it first.
My personal opinion is any full synthetic oil that meets the api specs is good when your changing oil every 3-4k miles on street car. Doubt any full synthetic has actually broken down by then. I ran Motul in my GTI for a few changes.
