Don't rate Mobil 1 at all.. for any engine.

Motul 300v competition 15W50 far better imho.

If its brand new you should use a certain type of oil to run it in. Not sure exactly what though, cheap and cheerful mineral stuff I think. I'm sure the experts can advise

You can get running in oil, but mineral oil of the correct grade will do. I believe my 2.5 is being run in on 10w-40 mineral.
