Its more like an X spurt.

It doesn't matter. For 5k mile oci I'd personally just use any conventional oil or whatever is on sale. Supertech conversational is like $11. Chevron supreme is even less$$ and it can be ordered to pickup at Walmart.

Thinking about it some more why not just run regular Supertech High Mileage? At 5k will work fine and save a few bucks.

Here is another option, Havoline HM blend 6qt box for the same price as the Quaker State HM Blend.

Supertech Synthetic HM 5 qt jug is $15.98
QS HM Blend 5 qt jug is $15.47
Havoline HM blend 6 qt box is $15.47
Supertech HM (probably a blend) 5 qt jug is $12.97

Of these, the Havoline is the cheapest per qt. Any of them are fine for 5000 mile intervals (for most driving conditions and engines).
