I recently bought some ELF 5W/40 for my next oil change, but have used Mobil-1 almost exclusively since I purchased my 2000lpt nearly 8 years ago.
Mobil-1's viscosity is rumored to be on the thin side (their 40 weight is rumored to be very close to everyone else's 30 weight), and they are rumored to now be using a Group-III base stock rather than a Group-IV, but other than the one source you quoted I have heard no rumors of unsuitabilily with our engines.
