I think a good Synthetic such as Valvoline or Castrol would be fine in 10W-30 if the 5w-30 isn't availible. Mobil 1 is good oil but its not going to hurt your car to run other kinds of oil!

I'm using 5w-50 now and I think it's too thick oil at higher temps.
Especially because engine oil temps on ma car never go very high.
