Default my 1st oil change on a used f4i. should i or shouldnt i?!

this will be the first oil change i am preforming on this 05 f4i.
The 1st owner was using an OEM filter, and Moble1 synthetic oil($10 a qt)
I was wondering if this was nessasary... I see a lot of people on here use that rotella(blue jug). I was wondering if i should keep using the expensive stuff, or switch.

Unless you're revving the snot out of it, you can use any motorcycle-specific oil in the weight for your F4i. Mobil1 isn't necessary but is good stuff.
