It runs thin for what its supposed to be rated for, and burns out faster than the 7500 miles people try to use it for. I saw dozens of blown motors running mobil 1 when I worked at a dealership for a few years, part of it is because of issues with the oil weight but most of it comes from the owners who expect it to be bullet proof and its not because no oil is.

If you insist on Mobil 1, run 0w30 instead and change it frequently (3000 miles) especially if you abuse it.
