i still dont understand all this Mobil 1 talk,...that stuff is like the Falken Azenis tires........OLD NEWS.
its been said time and time again mobil 1 burns sometimes up to 1 quart in a month in some cases. They switch to something different and its a much different story.
Also if you canT get LE1607 get something like 75w 110 because 75w 90 is the OLD standard.

Just because a few people have experienced oil burning issues with Mobil 1, you should not assume that all Mobil products would perform in a similar fashion. Mobil sells many products. As oil formulations and additive packages vary greatly between their product lines and even grades of oil, one should expect a great variation in their performances. I wouldn't shut the door on Mobil just yet.

Engine: I use Mobil1 10W-30; any good 10W-30 is fine, if changed at appropriate intervals.

Tranny: Honda MTF. I tried GM Friction Modified and didn't like it. At all.

Diff: Mobil1 or Red Line 75W-90
