I would personally go for Mobil 1. I haven't had a lot of experience with different oils, but Mobil 1 seems to be getting a pretty good reputation. There has been a lot of debate as to whether fully synthetics are good on new or just run in engines. I believe that once you're first oil change comes along, you should be fine to put a fully synthetic oil in. After all; Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Cadillac, Chrysler, Corvette, Dodge, Ferrari, GM, Mercedes Benz, Pontiac, and Porsche all use fully synthetic oils as a factory fill right from the start. So switching over to synthetic at the first oil change should not ruin your engine.

As for which grade of oil to use, you will be fine to use 10W30 as this is suitable for temperatures as low as -29 degrees. If you wanted to, you can use 5W30, but in my opinion there is no real need to with respect to Australian climate.

The Aurion manual states that you need 5.7 litres if you did a drain and fill without changing the filter, and 6.1 litres if you changed the filter as well.
