The grade of oil is not determined by Mobile. It's determined by SAE. SAE doesn't say anything about the size of the molecule, it's all about viscosity measurements.

"By 1926, there were six single grade designations in SAE J300. Such oils, identified as SAE 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60, were graded according to viscosity measurements at 130 degrees and 210 degrees Fahrenheit. "

How Do You Choose the Right Type of Oil for Your Car?
