I did a search over at pelican, and read that one engine builder "hates" mobil one, and it is not good for the type4. I use it, and I know a lot of others who use it. I'll throw some poop in the pot...

I don't think Mobile One is a bad oil in a healthy engine, regardless of age. But wisdom says that it will cause leaks in an older motor with tired seals... but bad? Naaa. Sounds like other issues at play with the gentleman's overheating.
