The different brand oil is no problem. The (perhaps) different wgt. oil is no problem. HOWEVER,the 5w30 Mobil1 is NOT recommened for extended oil changes. If you stay with Mobil1, yoy should use 0w40 per MB. Go to your dealer to get a list of approved oils, etc. That said, if you plan to change your oil in 4500mi or less, I wouldn't worry about it. Just my opinion.
