I believe Royal Purple and Redline offer real group IV synthetics also. On the 4wheelers the only question would be if they have a wet clutch and if the motor oil is shared by the drive system. I'd bet both of those answers are no so I'd have no hesitation using Mobil 1. What weight would depend on what the original weight was spec'd by the manufacturer. I'd use Mobil 1 5w40 in most everything, its the highest rated oil they sell in the states. I use the 10w30 in my pickup because the Speedee Lube place in town only stocks that and 5w30. I do the changes in my Mercedes car myself because its pitifully easy and I can use 5w40 which Wally World carries in the handy 1gal jugs. Amsoil makes nice products but I'm not a fan of their marketing scheme and since its more of a pain for me to get it and since Wally World has the handy 1gal jugs I use Mobil 1. On the pickup, I guess I'm divided, part of me says 10,000 is plenty. Part of me says things are hopefully still wearing in and I wouldn't want to run extended oil changes yet, and if I'm not running extended oil changes why am I using synthetic oil? If it were mine I'd probably wait another 10,000 miles, but I drive alot so that'd only be about 6 months...
