I'd say it is.. with some stiff competition from the GC 0w30.
Mobil 1 SUV is Delvac 1

Does anyone know the CCS and MRV specs for GC 0w30? Patman?

GC is a nice built oil. I like the specs. of this oil. Guy's you don't need Moly. It's been discussed over and over again. It's a great friction modifier and AW additive but there are others as well. GC, Amsoil and D1 are all examples of oils that don't have it and don't need it.
How would this Delvac / M1 SUV 5W40 oil do in a Mercruiser I/O application? Other oils I'm considering would be Amsoil Marine 15W40, M1 15W50.
i was at the mountain view, CA walmart today, and saw two cases of mobil 1 suv oil on the top shelves. it looks like they just got it in and has no shelve spaces for it yet. this walmart has no lub center, and their oil prices are higher than the walmart with lub center. the price for the regular mobil 1 synthetic oil at this walmart is 4.88, and for the suv mobil1 is 4.77(on the box); 2.00 dollars for pennzoil 5-20. these same oils at a walmart with lub center are 4.00 dollars for the regular mobil1, and $1.44 for the pennzoil 5-20.

The Checker Auto Parts in Henderson Nevada now has Mobil 1 Truck & SUV oil for $4.99 per quart. It should just be a matter of time before all Checker Auto Parts sell this oil.

Just picked up a case of Mobil 1 Truck & SUV from Checkers for $3.99 a quart. Good deal considering been using the Amsoil 0-30 for $7.25 a quart. Will try it next oil change.
M1 SUV just got put on the shelves in Racine Walmart. Wasn't on the shelf 5 minutes before I snagged a few quarts.
Also, the orange wall of doom is shrinking. the SuperTech section for filtters is growing larger

This stuff will easily go 10K! I'm using it for a 10K OCI and it still looks brand new (honey color) after 4000 miles!

Without saying anything negative about D1, I'd have to say that the actual blackness of your oil has a lot to do with how much stuff it's putting in suspension... it doesn't mean the oil itself is in good or bad shape. In fact, I'm sure many members here have pulled out completely black oil that turned in good UOAs.
