here are some info on oils, but I just wanted to know if this is what I would normally use in the hot weather.

nevermind, I have to go return this 15w-30.
"When an oil is cold its viscosity increases, and it does not flow easily. If you use high-viscosity oil in low-temperature weather, heavily loaded engine parts will not receive oil until the engine warms and the oil thins. Hot oil, on the other hand, is thin and flows easily. Low-viscosity oil in an engine running at very high temperature may break down and allow moving parts to rub against each other. This can cause rapid engine wear and possible damage. Today, most carmakers recommend multiviscosity oils such as 5W-30 and 10W-30. Check your owner's manual to see what's recommended for your car. "

Considering that 15w-30 Mobil 1 doesn't exist, i wouldn't get all uppity about people answering your question.
If you bought the 15w-50, then it might be getting late in the year, PLUS it's a little too thick in my estimation.
If it's 5w-30 or 10w-30, you're safe, but slightly on the thin side. 5w-40 or 0w-40 seems about great for this time of year and when you want to push a little harder.
