JC Napa turns in some pretty good results here, do you currently run syn in it? 3k change on a syn is definitly a short OCI for that kind of oil. Some reccomendations would also be Pennzoil, or Valvoline Max Life HM 5w, or 10w30 oils for your engine.
this truck went over 7 years and 58000 miles on an oil change who knows before that has taken 3 oil changes to get it somewhat clear looking

Wow!! poor engine.....The NAPA Syn should do fine for you, just be aware that if you Presently have any leaks at all, going to a full syn will "aggravate" those, not Cause them, but it can aggravate them some.

I would just stick with a dino 10-30, for future purchases. Waste of a Syn imo. Those motors are pretty stout, can take a lot of neglect.

I'm thinking along those same lines.

I agree. Id run rotella 10w-30 in there, and change the oil filter often if doing as mentioned above.

+1 that sounds like a good choice to me.
