It might be fine in the new FA20. The problem with Mobil1 is that in EJ engines it gets consumed much more quickly then other oils. Many people with Subarus have seen high oil consumption with Mobil1 that went away immediately upon switching to another brand of oil.
I'm not sure what particular aspect of Mobil1 causes this, but considering how often this has happened, I'm just not going to use Mobil1. There are tons of other oil brands out there that are as good or better, so there's no need to even bother with Mobil1.
