Hello Civic friends --
I'm about to do my first oil change on my new Civic 1.5T. Just wondering what oil do yall recommend? I'm not talking about 0W-20 vs 5W-30, etc.... Since oil is pretty much the life blood of the engine, I'm curious to know what brand is recommended, or am I wasting time and over-thinking things? I've narrowed it down to the following two:
The reason I'm going with either of these two is because they are marketed to be "specifically" for GDI engines.... and figured with all the controversy of oil dilution and/or carbon buildup, I'd look for motor oil that caters specifically to GDI engines.... or these companies are just great at marketing. Thoughts please?

Since oil is pretty much the life blood of the engine, I'm curious to know what brand is recommended, or am I wasting time and over-thinking things? I've narrowed it down to the following two:
- Valvoline Full Synthetic for Modern Engines
- Castrol Edge Full Synthetic Forumulated for GDI engines
