Default Oil recommendation and K&N?

I am at 3650 miles. I am ready for the first oil change, but am wondering whether to go to Mobil 1 or stick with regular Mobil mineral oil until 7000(ish) miles...what is the thinking on this right now (yes, I know there have been discussions on this b4, but a car only 24 months on the market in my opinion warrants regular discussion of such issues - so if you have no input direcly to the question just don't post!! )

Oh - and has K&N released a filter yet? A TRULY drop in filter - I have seen discussions about others and debate as to their being truly "drop in." I just replaced my filter on my truck (2001 Super Crew 5.4L F150) and it was easy as pie...I LOVE pie!

Stick with "mineral" oil for the first 5,000 miles. Then go to the Mobil 1. As for K&N....here's everything you need along with source, part numbers, and pricing. And yes it is a perfect fit:
