5W-30 Mobil One here as well, with a Motorcraft filter.
Change it between 3500, and 4000 miles...
Previous owner used it from day one, and I have had no probs.
I am in Arizona (109* already!)
I thought about using Royal Purple, but I am too lazy to order it all the time. (Auto Zone is easier).
Also, when you change the filter, fill the new one with oil, and install it, this way it doesn't have to fill with oil before it oils the top end.
The filter position is perfect for this... (Vertical)...

I used 5-30 in the stock engine and on the first built engine. Then I went to just regular old oil. However because people thought I was being too cheap I just bought a whole bunch of 10-30 Mobil one a couple of weeks ago and will be using Mobil 1 again.
