mobil 1 0/40w fully synthetic is really good oil. couldn't say if it suits your application though...

you want 10w40 or 15w40 mineral or semi synth. if you engine is a mega miler, go for 20w50 mineral.
0/40w fully synthetic is completely inappropriate for this engine, and usually costs silly money (particularly from hellfrauds, unless you got a trade card)

140k should be nicely run in :) mega miles is gonna be well over 200k.
trick to engine longevity is regular oil changes with the correct oil, not just the most expensive you can find

I wouldn't put something that thin in my car. It'll tend to leak out more, for a start.
Fuchs or Quantum semi synth are fine. Just go with a decent oil in the recommended grade, and change it regularly.
