While Mobil 1 5W30 is a top quality oil, it fails to meet the basic specification for that engine: ACEA A3/B3. That is because the viscosity is too low. This engine runs with a relatively high oil temperature to reduce sludge formation. Mobil 1 0W40 "European Formula" and 10W40 "High Mileage" both meet the basic spec, and I would recommend using either one of those over the 5W30.
