Obviously I will be insisting they put the oil the manual (and I) specified in but do I need a new oil filter as well?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Always put a new filter in when you change the oil.
What brand of oil was it? Seems everyone is thinking it is a Mobil 1 synthetic oil, but is it?
