04152-YZZA3 and 04152-YZZA5 are both the same oil filter, the A5 comes with an extra o-ring and drain fitting meant for the AWD models. YZZA3 is the correct RWD oil filter, but either will work just fine.

More information I posted before.

Information on the differences between the versions of Mobil 1 here: http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/...Oils/Oils.aspx

I don't see too much of a reason to run anything but the silver-cap, the engine isn't spec'ed for synthetic anyway, and if you aren't going to run extended intervals, I don't think the additional additives in the extended life oil are required.

As long as you change your oil regularly, you will be fine with either cap color
