They'll use dino oil. I'm hoping that the dealership will stick to the recommended 5W30 (as per manual) weight instead of the 10W30 weights that dealerships keep a huge stock off. The synthetic available at the dealership (at least by where I live) use the Castrol Syntec, which is not true synthetic (a little of syn mix with Dino from The Flintstones) like Mobil 1.

They have used 5W30 (or at least written that on the paperwork) for the two free oil changes I have had.
You want to use regular oil for the first few thousand miles anyway. At about the 10K mark I will switch to full synthetic. The exact timing of this is a religious argument.
