Mobil Clean 5000 5w30
Got a couple jugs of it dirt cheap
Will it be OK for the Stang?
I usually use the MC 5w30 blend with a small amount of Red Line oil additive for the added phosphorous/zinc

Here's a link to a VOA of the Mobile Super 5000 5W30; I assume it's the same oil you're calling Clean 5000. It's one of the few oils I've seen that contains Titanium as an anti-wear additive.

Adding 1 ounce of Red Line additive per quart will make up for the 5000's shortfall of ZDDP. For 1000 miles, I don't see an issue. The base stock and TBN will be just fine at that short of run, and the extra additive will protect your engine just fine for a short interval.
Do not run it without the additional additive though.
Is this stuff API SM?
