YOu have been a using a quality oil since new... so why change to a non-API certified oil?
Look for a synthetic that is CI4+ API certified or the new CJ4 API certified.
Synthetic oil will probably be 5W-40 and will work great. I switched at 50,000 miles from Motorcraft 15W-40 to Rotella-Syn 5W-40 with great results.
Bottom line... use a name brand oil of your choice and look only for the API industry certification of CI4+.
Use Racor, Motorcraft or Fram (All Racor made) for better filtration and fit.
