Oil Change

I need to change the oil on my truck in a 1000 miles or so, my question is does anyone have a recommendation for the best kind of oil to use, mainly specific to the syntetic blends. I've use Rotella and Delo for conventional and i want to switch to a blend, good or bad idea since the truck has 128K on it.

I have been buying the FMC oil at wally world and very happy with it......It comes in a 5qt jug for about 10 bucks.I change my oil too often to run the amsoil I use in my other vehicle.When I am working constantly I am at 10,000 miles a month and change the oil about every 1.5 months.
