Runs great but from my understanding is that when you go to pure Synthetic oil you can never go back to standard. Don't know if this is entirely true though.

You can always switch back and forth between synthetic and conventional. Heck, they even make semi synthetic blends of conventional and synthetic.
I personally don't like mobil 1 but it's got a large following.

For my climate, which would be south texas, I use 10w30. The easiest way to remember is to change your oil every 3 months.
