It is a fine oil. As a matter of fact I have it in my wife's Focus. Do your self a favor and drive that bugger more then a mile.
Agree... Both oils are great. If you worry that much about the difference of those two oils, then you ought to worry more about those short 1 mile trips. 1 mile! If I miss a turn driving, getting back is sometimes more than 1 mile.
It's not rocket science though... just take the scenic route or go to the next closest whatever store that you need to that's near the freeway.

For 1 Mile short trips I think you should use a 0w30 especially in Ohio, it gets over there dontchaknow
even better as dave suggested is don't drive your car if you only are going to drive it a single mile.
Walk, you will be warmer in a nice coat and boots than in an ice cold car seat.

Mobil Super Synthetic 5w30 is a good oil for sure. It's Dexos approved which is a decent specification. It most likely is a group 3 hydocracked synthetic. It's similar in nature to Havoline Pro DS.
About the idea of walking... Maybe the OP has a disability that makes walking a mile not an option. I know this may be a small percentage chance, but it does exist. I know this firsthand. I live a half mile from two large grocery stores. I could walk to them 80% of the time. But 20% of the time it's not possible. Honestly, I don't walk even when I could because I would rather save my legs for other times and activities. I am not saying this to give anyone a hard time or make anyone feel bad. It's just we don't think about this from across the spectrum at times.. I would not have either yrs ago myself. Until I was just 25 yrs old and got to where walking around Walmart was too much for me some days. Whereas just a couple years earlier I played basketball routinely, could dunk a ball, and had energy that was almost unmatched.
Since then I certainly have thought about circumstances differently. But I am very very grateful to do all I can do and have done too. I'm a very fortunate person. Honestly, more than I deserve

We are on the same page here, and i would add, not everyone can change their own oil either. On occasion you read how someone casts a disparaging eye to those who don't diy.
