Default which oil & filter?
99.5 1.8QT 72k

I read the oem filter is a "Mann" filter, is that right?

Where are these available (besides stealership) and are there acceptable substitutes if I can't find oem?

is Mobil 1 synthetic 10-30 what I want for Florida-- very hot weather and long highway drives?

Thanks

Mobil 1 oil gets my vote. I use 0W-30 here in Nor Cal.
