This may be a stupid question but I have been searching for hours.
Is there any reason that I should not use Mobil1 "high Mileage" 10w30 in my 2.4l Turbocharged motor? The car gets beat on every so often, but not for extended periods of time all at once. I moniter oil pressure and oil temps, so when temps get high, I take it easy. From my searching, it seams like a GF-4 oil is a good choice for high temp applications, but I am trying to slow or stop a leak. I thought the leak was from my oil pan gasket, which I think part of the seepage was, so I changed the gasket. Now I noticed that the leak is coming from higher up, maybe the crank seal. The leak itself does not leave a drip on the driveway, but it is being blown around underneith the motor and making a mess. Either way, will this oil hold up to the beating a may induce on it?
during my searching, I found this link. it might be good for people like me that dont know an awful lot about oil.

one more thing....the motor has seen mostly Amsoil TSO or ASL for the 1st 47000 miles with a GC OCI in the middle somewhere. I tried RTS 5w40 SM for the last 3k miles, and the car is deffinetly more sluggish and the leak hasnt slowed, so I want to change to something else.
