Go on NASOIC and ask them. The math, the analysis and the stats show otherwise.

Mobil one 5w-30 shears too quickly. The particular Subi engines(ej20) with an issue have a poorly lubricated main at #4 and it's slightly a different size which changes the angular velocity. Once the mobil 1 shears down a bit, it galls, heats, seizes and spins.

The problem is generally solved in one of two ways. Run higher oil pressure or don't use Mobil 1 5w-30.
