i used to use motorcraft 5w20 until the price went way up then i used qsud and pennzoil yellow bottle every 5000 miles and my engine looks new inside at 188,000
Which oil can go 5K without causing varnish?

Any full syn should be capable of this as well as many oils not labeled as such.
It may be more a matter of how the engine is operated then it is the oil.
Lots of short trips would be tougher than would longer drives only.
Low ambient temperatures and warmup time may play a role as well, although you don't have much to worry about in that regard in your location.

Valvoline Maxlife keeps engines shinier than chrome! Ok, maybe not chrome but pretty darn shiny inside.
There is a video at Kendall's website. Pretty impressive, using Kendall GT-1 Syn Blend.

Scroll down to more videos and watch the full length version of taxi teardown.
Of course, this is just this engine. But impressive anyway.

Try Delvac 1 ESP 5w-40. You shouldn't be experimenting with these low HTHS ILSAC 10w-30s anyhow.

Garak!! Where have you been?!!?
I was real close to starting a thread about you titled, "Where's Garak?"

Work has been totally nuts. The only "oil" related thing I got to do over the past few weeks was a little visit to the Imperial Oil warehouse here. Now, that's a lot of oil!
At 5k I think any major brand oil with the proper grade & API should do good, providing the engine is in good condition. And keep the PVC etc. in working order.
Here is my Mazda 3 with over 120k miles. First 60k miles were done on dino and synthetic and the second 60k miles were done on dino exclusively (PYB and VWB).
A lot depends on the engine itself and the type of usage, not just the oil.

I should have brought my camera. I will take pics of the new Delvac 1 labels, at least. I'm sure, however, that people would have loved to see pics of the 1200L containers of Delvac 1 or the 1450 kg pallets of grease. Given the size of the warehouse, the amount of oil there would have to be in the hundreds of thousands of litres. Heck, I saw around ten of the 1200L containers as soon as I walked in.
