recommended oil ???

I have a 1992 flareside 4x4 5.8 which I got in 2000 with 52,000 miles.
I have changed oil every 3000 miles or less and use pensoil h/milage 10-30
Would it help reduce engine wear and gas on cold starts if I changed over to sythenic,the temp here in NNY swings from -30 to 90 and winters I use a lot of fuel in morning during cold start warm ups in winter.And if the change would help
what brand and can I just do a normal oil change over to sythenic.Have done some mod superchip,km breather,excel coil,bosch quad plugs and truck runs great now have 112,000 miles and this has been the most dependable truck
I have owned as of yet and would like to increase life of motor if sythenic does
really work.

That's a lot of miles to go synthetic.
