Like Weemay wrote, any oil that meets SM 5w-20 is enough in your car, even conventional oil.
Depending of your OCI and your annual mileage, you can shorten the list of oils that may meet your requirements.
i normally run 7500-10k miles of 5w-30 (82k miles currently), a little over depending on the work schedule and timing issues. my annual? ive lost track, probably, 30k+, and thats being generous. considering how much driving i do highway for work.
Ok, then I will continue on synthetic, and since you drive a lot, and probably don't have much time changing oil often, you could try the extended drain version of the synthetic oil.
First oil that comes to mind is M1 5w-20 EP which seems very well regarded here and see if you can push it to 15k miles OCI.
From what I understand you can buy it at walmart for about the same price than regular M1 when it is on rollback.
Other choices are PU, Castrol edge, and other main brands.
