I have a 08 ford ranger sohc v6. I don't pull anything heavier than a quad and that's not often. Since finding this site I have become obsessed with oil lol. I have been running PC synthetic 5w30 but I can get the supreme "dino" for almost half the cost. My oci is 8000km with syn if I switched it would be 6000km. I guess what I am getting at is does anyone have any thoughts on PCs dino flavour of motor oils?
 
Any of the modern API SN formulas will be fine for what you're doing. I think you could run the conventionals (most of which are semi-syn anyway) out to 8000km. If you use a syn, I think 10000km is okay.

Best advice I can give is to pick one and try it out. See what works well for you. A lot of people here just buy what's on sale.
