Default Oil use and oil type?

So, I bought my 06 Touring Roadster last week. It was a demo w/ 5000 miles. They did the requisite oil change and service before I bought it. I checked the oil the other night and it was full. How often should I check it?

What brand and/or weight should I have on hand if I need to put some in?
Also, when can I switch to Mobil1?
What weight Mobil1 should I use?
And, will that affect my warranty?

Getting the dipstick out is challenging to say the least....

Thanks...

The Owner's Manual recomends 5/30. (if you didn't get a Maual, you need to get one!)

Anytime you want

5/30, just like the manual says

Only if you fail to follow the maintenance schedule.

greddy makes a synthetic oil blend, or the higher pwoered cars. its 10w 60, probably throw that in there if u ever build up ur motor and run a source of fi.
