I'm sure they will say it is right for your car (truck), but all I'm saying is I see no notice that it is approved by the GM standards. In addition, since Mobil 1 exceeds what you should be using, you are paying a premium for an oil you probably do not require, that for some reason, has not passed the GM spec.
I'm sure it is good oil, and I'm would almost bet it won't hurt the engine.
