So it's just a matter of cleaning it up best I can and using something like mobile 1 for oil in the future? (I've only had the car 1 month and havent even changed the oil yet)

Best thing to do would be start with a very thorough engine flush. Use the oil flush, and inspect the cooling system for a flush as well. Then run good quality oil as you said.

you could clean her up and start using synthetic, i beleive they have very good flushing properties.Engine oil flushes giv me reason for concern.I have no reasonable explanation or experience to explain this.
