Use a good synthetic. If you don't trust the recommended drain period, use oil analysis to set your own drain.
Use the Mobil 1 Tri-synthetic you have. It is not going to do any harm, and is better than most oils on the market, though in some ways not as good as it's predecessor formulation. Don't really know about the new stuff. Mobil is one of the few companies which still uses the better (and pricier) PAO base stock, which is a group IV oil. Castrol uses Group III.
