I'm about to get my GT's oil changed for the first time, and I was planning on changing to Mobil 1. I read on another site that folks switching to Mobil 1 have experienced oil loss (pretty severe, too, like a quart every 3k miles). Anyone else know about this? Should I go to 10W30? How about oil filter recommendations?
Thanks.

Like others have mentioned, the 10W30 would be a good choice in higher temps, and in mild winter climates.
The GT will consume more oil than you would like. One easy way to slow down the oil loss would be to vent the PCV filter to atmosphere through a small filter. This would take it off the air box, where the oil can be sucked into the airbox filter from the head. By taking it off the airbox and putting a filter on the line, the vacuum created by the airbox is eliminated, and the PCV system can "breathe" normally.
Also, the switch to synthetic oil may slow down the oil loss as well.
