Default European ignorance: What oil and oil filter?

I'm getting SP1352 ready for the first ride out's.

Rick, the previous owner, always used Mobil1 15W-50 for the engine. I figured I'd stick to the same if it worked for him.

15W-50 Synthetic Oil | Mobil 1™ 15W-50

Temperatures over here never exceed 95°F, and even that is exceptional. Normal warm summer days will be around 86-90°F.

And I'm not counting on driving it under 50°F.

The engine is a Ford racing crate 351W, 385HP, installed in 2003. Reference : M-6007-A351R

I don't have any other details. (where can I find a cast or serial number that could tell me more about the engine?). It has done around 10.000 miles

In Europe, the only Mobil1 15W-50 I can find is sold as a motorbike engine oil.

Also what oil filter size and type / brand should I use?

Dan
