Owners manual tells you what you need. Very easy to do, I change my 2013 all the time. 0w -20 is what you need (should be the same as the 2013 but check cap and manual) One thing I will say is to invest in a oil filter wrench and before you start to try to twist it off, be sure to remove the metal clip that is there to prevent it from coming loose. Very easy to do just pry it off with a flat head screwdriver.
I have been using Mobil 1, not sure if it is advance fuel economy or not, and to be honest I have used Fram (yes, I know I will likely get flack) synthetic oil filter. I think it is the mid grade one. you got a pick of the reg, mid grade and top of the line Fram. I once bought the Mobil 1 filter because it was on sale. I have switched to Mobil 1 only 3 oil changes ago. Prior to the switch I used several high end brands of oil and I have had no issues, always change it at 8000kms intervals. I have used Mobil 1 many years ago in another country and car and I do like the brand, the reason I switch back was only because I have a Walmart discount and I price match the oil when it is on sale. Typically it is nearly CAD$60 and when it goes on sale it drops to mid $30's and then I get the discount. Mobil 1 typically was always $15 to $20 more than the other high end brands but I have noticed (at least here in Canada) the they all seem to be withing $5 of each other now.
