Ditto on my old, old 2.1 wasserboxer.......i.e. no light using the 15W-50 in an old engine.

Thoughts  on running Mobil-1 Synthetic oil

Joel,  I have been using Mobil-1 15W 50 or 5W 50 in my Boston Bob Big Valve
engine  right from the beginning, after break-in.  Now at 86,000 km I have
never  seen my oil light flicker.  I also have a dash mounted mechanical oil
pressure gauge.  Readings have always been good.  So, not sure why  your
experiencing what you are but I don't believe it's due to the Mobil  1.

Cheers,
