Depends on application. Mobil 1 0W-40, European Car Formula (NA) or Protection Formula (EU)

For Short trip driving, not real sure. If you're getting in & driving till your tank's empty, you're good to go w/ it. A Quart of Lucas Synthetic stabilizer would address additional cold start protection though.

Mobil 1's getting pretty cutting edge w/ Synthetic oils nowadays. Hard to go wrong, but I still lean towards intended application as a guide.

Anyone have thoughts on a K&N oil filter?

Do your own research & find the nominal micron ratings, & Beta ratios for the filters. I prefer to use Baldwin filters myself.

I like Bosch mileage plus, or is it distance plus... I cant remember right now lol. It has a great anti drain back valve which helps the 4.9l from those cold start rattles. Its only got 113,000 miles though

Deqeezie said it, just get s decent quality filter not the basic $3 Fram from Walmart. I use pure one myself.

It looks just like the Mobil 1 filter internally. I wouldn't be surprised if the same company made both. At any rate, its a great filter.
