The cheap Mobil 1 oil is a hydrocracked group III base oil. It is cheaper to manufacture but is less stable in higher temperatures. There are full synthetic Mobil 1 oils but they are going to be equally expensive as Redline. Mobil 1 does not reveal any information about their oil makeup, they prefer to keep their customers in the dark and let their marketing win you over. This isn't unusual in the oil industry, very few manufacturers reveal their true oil makeup.
Can you use it? Sure, as long as you don't intend to use it for track duty you'll be fine.
