I believe the Rotella is a "fake" synthetic, whereas the Mobil 1 is a true, PAO (some funny acronym) synthetic. This does not mean the Rotella is bad by any means, just that it's made by some sort of processing of a conventional base. Supposedly the full synthetics like Mobil 1 have better flow characteristics and resist break down better.
FWIW, I stick to the full synthetics for the Saab. But, in my motorcycle, I use the Rotella 5W-40.
