As I've said before, regular oil changes are the only factor you can count on 100% and you can use just about anything with decent additives as long as you keep the engine clean and change the oil frequently enough to ensure it doesn't break down.
That having been said, I've personally gone to Mobil 1 in the past couple years because I sometimes get busy enough that my oil changes don't happen exactly when they should. The Mobil 1 buys me a peace of mind.

However, i belive that any oil will work, you just have to keep up with the intervals

Independent labs have shown that as many as 10k miles can be run on the original Mobil1 formula (before the new ones that just came out) and still have less wear than 3k dino juice. Amsoil probably has similar results.
