I am considering using Mobil 1 (5W50) at the next oil change.  My TR6 
develops oil pressure of 80 psi @ 1400 rpm cold, 50 psi @ 1400 rpm 
and 25 @ 800 rpm hot.  Sometime soon I will have to replace the 
bearing.  Would Mobil 1 be better or worse than the Catrol GTX that I 
have used in the past, or no significant difference.  I believe that 
the lower cold viscosity of Mobil 1 should improve the oil flow on 
start up, provided the oil pressure does not drop substantially.  Any 
opinions?
