I can't imagine running oil for 18,000 miles, but it appears that Mobil 1 is up to the task. Makes me feel better about going to 8000 on my last change, although the Chevy V8 they were running may be easier on oil than a Saab turbo 4 cyl.
I switched my wife's Explorer to Mobil 1 5-30 (the car had 106K miles at the time on dino oil always done at 5K) and oil consumption seemed to decrease. It had always needed about a quart at about 3500. With M1 it needed maybe 1/2 a quart at 4K and 1/4 at about 6500. Then I changed it at about 8500 miles--oil was still almost full.
My 9000 needed maybe 1/2 a quart over 8000 miles.
