Default Mag1 oil - is it OK?

I have difficulties finding 5W-30 oil here. The only one I found is labeled "Mag 1". Is it OK to use it?
It also costs only $8/quart. Some Mobil1 5W-40 is like $15/quart.
And here's couple of pictures

Holy crap!
Well, I read up on the internet on it a bit and a lot of people compare it to WalMart's Supertech synthetic oil. Bottom line - it's better than conventional. If you don't put many miles on your LS1 at all I would still probably go for Mobil 1 but if you change your oil a bit more frequently it's probably worth the savings.

Send some samples to these guys while you are running this oil. If it is doing any harm, you'll know.
