Mobil Super is a budget brand relative to Mobil 1, using Group III (hydroisomerized refined crude) vs. (traditionally, and still I think) Group IV (polyalphaolefin, ginned up from natural gas, et. al., in a chemnical factory). For almost all purposes, Mobil 1 Super is adequate. I expect, however, that "Super" is not available in as wide a range of viscosities and customizations (Extra Strong, or whatever they call it, High Mileage), nor would they have a version that carries the old GM Long Life A/B designations for which the oil life monitor in the 9-3 SS is calculated. They may not even pay to get a European (ACEA) specification for it, but I haven't checked that.
