Mobil 1 full synthetic is what I run, the dealer runs Mobil 1 through the Evo's, just food for thought.
Nippon Oil Company bought out Mitsubishi Oil Company in 1999. When the Evo was developed by Mitsubishi engineers, they used ENEOS for R&D. Mobile 1 pays Mitsubishi to use there oil in the car. They have some great information there site.

ENEOS USA

We didn't believe it either do we did back-to-back dyno sessions with fresh oil of both brands to check.

Food for thought, but Mobil 1 is no longer a full synthetic. M1 is using group III base oils now.

Group I = mineral oil with the least amount of processing / refining
Group II = mineral oil with more processing / refining
Group III = mineral oil processed / refined to have viscosity index comparable to group IV
Group IV = polyalphaolefins made from natural gas
Group V = other

In the US, group III, IV, and V can be marketed as "synthetic".
